WARNING:
●Situate vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
●Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
●For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts described in
PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:
●Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.
●Do not start working until exhaust system and engine coolant are cool enough.
●If items or work required are not covered by the engine main body section, refer to the applicable
sections.
●Always use the support point specified for lifting.
●Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for
unavoidable reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with transmission jack or similar tool
before starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.
●For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-35, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand" .

ASSEMBLY
1. Fully air-blow the engine coolant and engine oil passages in the cylinder block, the cylinder bore and the
crankcase to remove any foreign material.
CAUTION:
Use a goggles to protect your eye.
2. Install each plug to the cylinder block.
●Apply liquid gasket.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
●Replace the copper washers with new ones.
3. Install the main bearings and the thrust bearings.
a. Remove dust, dirt, and engine oil on the bearing mating sur-
faces of the cylinder block and the lower cylinder block.
b. Install the thrust bearings to the both sides of the No. 3 journal
housing on the cylinder block.
●Install the thrust bearings with the oil groove facing the crank-
shaft arm (outside).
c. Install the main bearings paying attention to the direction.
●The main bearing with an oil hole and groove goes on the cyl-
inder block. The one without them goes on the lower cylinder
block.
●Only the main bearing (on the cylinder block) for No. 3 journal
has different specifications.
●Before installing the bearings, apply engine oil to the bearing
surface (inside). Do not apply engine oil to the back surface,
but thoroughly clean it.
●When installing, align the bearing stopper to the notch.
●Ensure the oil holes on cylinder block and those on the corre-
sponding bearing are aligned.
4. Install the signal plate to the crankshaft.
a. Position crankshaft and signal plate using a positioning dowel
pin, and tighten mounting bolts.
b. Remove dowel pin.
CAUTION:
Be sure to remove dowel pin.
NOTE:
Dowel pins of crankshaft and signal plate are provided as a set
for each.
If dowel pin is not available (when reusing crankshaft and sig-
nal), use M6-bolt (length below the head of the bolt should be 10
mm or more) as a substitute.

necting rod small end) – (Outer diameter of piston pin)
●If the measured value exceeds the standard, replace the con-
necting rod assembly and/or piston and piston pin assembly.
●If replacing the piston and piston pin assembly, refer to the “Pis-
ton Selection Table” to select the piston corresponding to the
applicable bore grade of the cylinder block to be used. Refer to

●Using a scraper, remove gasket on the cylinder block surface,
and also remove engine oil, scale, carbon, or other contamina-
tion.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow gasket flakes to enter the engine oil
or engine coolant passages.
●Measure the distortion on the block upper face at some different
points in 6 directions.
●If out of the distortion limit, replace the cylinder block.Standard: 19.989 - 20.001 mm (0.7870 - 0.7874 in)

PRECAUTIONS
[YD22DDTi]PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Drain Engine CoolantEBS00LQZ
Drain engine coolant when engine is cooled.
Precautions for Disconnecting Fuel PipingEBS00LR0
●Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.
●Release fuel pressure before disassembly.
●After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precautions for Removal and DisassemblyEBS00LR1
●When instructed to use special service tools, use the specified tools. Always be careful to work safely,
avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.
●Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.
●Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.
●Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and re-assembly.
●When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified.
Precautions for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementEBS00LR2
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precautions for Assembly and InstallationEBS00LR3
●Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.
●When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is speci-
fied, do exactly as specified.
●Replace with new liquid gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
●Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for
any restriction and blockage.
●Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.
Before assembly, engine oil sliding surfaces well.
●Release air within route when refilling after draining coolant.
●After repairing, start engine and increase engine speed to check engine coolant, fuel, engine oil, and
exhaust systems for leakage.
Parts Requiring Angular TighteningEBS00LR4
●Use an angle wrench for the final tightening of the following engine parts:
–Cylinder head bolts
–Main bearing cap bolts
–Connecting rod cap nuts
–Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angular
tightening)
●Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
●The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
●Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.

Precautions For Liquid GasketEBS00ODW
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET
●After removing the mounting bolts and nuts, separate the mating
surface using a seal cutter and remove the old liquid gasket
sealing.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
●In areas where the cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic hammer
to lightly tap the areas where the liquid gasket is applied.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason a tool such as a flat-blade
screwdriver is used, be careful not to damage the mating
surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using a scraper, remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the liq-
uid gasket application surface and the mating surface.
●Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the
liquid gasket application surface, mounting bolts and bolt
holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating sur-
face with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove
adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Attach the liquid gasket to the tube presser.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
4. Apply the liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location
with the specified dimensions.
●If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the
liquid gasket to the groove.
●As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside
the holes. If specified, it should be applied outside the holes.
Make sure to read the instruction in this manual.
●Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.
●If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
●Do not retighten after the installation.
●After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill
the engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are instructions in this manual, observe them.
