ASSEMBLY
1) 2 sizes of piston are available as standard size spare part so
as to ensure proper piston-to-cylinder clearance. When
installing a standard size piston, make sure to match piston
with cylinder as follows.
a) Each piston has stamped number (1 or 2) on its piston
head. It represents outer diameter of piston.
b) There are also stamped numbers of 1 and 2 on the cylinder
block as shown in the figure.
c) Stamped number on piston and cylinder block must corre-
spond. That is, install number “2” stamped piston to cylinder
which is stamped also number “2” and a number “1” piston
to cylinder with number “1”.
Also, a letter A, B or C is stamped on piston head but ordi-
narily it is not necessary to distinguish each piston by this
letter.

2) Install piston pin to piston and connecting rod :
After applying engine oil to piston pin and piston pin holes in
piston and connecting rod, fit connecting rod to piston as
shown in the figure and insert piston pin to piston and con-
necting rod, and install piston pin circlips. Number at the top (mark) Outer diameter

Main bearing clearance
Check clearance by using gaging plastic (1) according to the fol-
lowing procedure.
1) Remove crankcase.
2) Clean bearings and main journals.
3) Place a piece of gaging plastic to full width of bearing (paral-
lel to crankshaft) on journal, avoiding oil hole.
4) Install crankcase to cylinder block.
Tighten crankcase bolts, following sequence in the figure.
Tighten crankcase bolts to specified torque.

ter) (a) :

Thrust and journal bearing cap bolt (10 mm thread diame-
ter) (b) :
27 N·m (2.7 kg-m, 19.5 lb-ft)
5) Remove crankcase and using scale (2) on gaging plastic (1)
envelop, measure gaging plastic (1) width at its widest point.
If clearance exceeds its limit, replace bearing. Always
replace both upper and lower inserts as a unit.
A new standard bearing may produce proper clearance. If
not, it will be necessary to regrind crankshaft journal for use
of 0.25 mm undersize bearing.
After selecting new bearing, recheck clearance.
Main Bearing Clearance
Standard : 0.024 – 0.044 mm (0.0009 – 0.0017 in.)
Limit : 0.060 mm (0.0023 in.)
NOTE:
Tighten 10 mm thread diameter bolts first (following the
order shown in the figure) then tighten 8 mm thread
diameter bolts.
NOTE:
Do not rotate crankshaft while gaging plastic is installed.

2. Bolt (10 mm thread diameter)
3. Bolt (8 mm thread diameter)
4. Long bolt (8 mm thread diameter)

3) There are 5 kinds of standard bearings differing in thickness.
To distinguish them, they are painted in following colors at
the position as shown in the figure.
Each color indicates the following thickness at the center of
bearing.
Standard size Main bearing thickness :
4) From number stamped on crank webs at its center and
alphabets stamped on crankcase lower side, determine new
standard bearing to be installed to journal, by referring to
table shown below.
For example, if number stamped on crank webs is “1” and
alphabet stamped on crankcase is “B”, install a new standard
bearing painted in “Black” to its journal.
New standard size bearing specification :
5) Using gaging plastic, check bearing clearance with newly
selected standard bearing.
If clearance still exceeds its limit, use next thicker bearing
and recheck clearance.
6) When replacing crankshaft or cylinder block and crank case
due to any reason, select new standard bearings to be
installed by referring to number stamped on new crankshaft
or alphabets stamped on new crankcase lower side.Color painted Bearing thickness
