32. CHECK FIT BETWEEN PISTON AND PISTON PIN
Try to move the piston back and forth on the piston pin.
If any movement is felt, replace the piston and pin as a set.
33. REMOVE PISTON RINGS
(a) Using a piston ring expander, remove the 2 compression
rings.
(b) Remove the 2 side rails and oil ring by hand.
HINT:
Arrange the piston rings in the correct order only.
34. DISCONNECT CONNECTING ROD FROM PISTON
(a) Using a small screwdriver, pry out the 2 snap rings.
(b) Gradually heat the piston to approx. 60°C (140°F).
(c) Using a plastic-faced hammer and brass bar, lightly tap
out the piston pin and remove the connecting rod.

(b) Temporarily place the 4 main bearing caps level and let
them in their proper locations.
(c) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under
the main bearing cap bolts for the 12 pointed head.
(d) Temporarily install the 8 main bearing cap bolts to the in-
side positions.
(e) Insert the main bearing cap with your hand until the clear-
ance between the main bearing cap and the cylinder
block will become less than 6 mm (0.23 in.) by making the
2 internal main bearing cap bolts as a guide.
(f) Using a plastic-faced hammer, lightly tap the bearing cap
to ensure a proper fit.
8. INSTALL 12 POINTED HEAD MAIN BEARING CAP
BOLTS
HINT:

The main bearing cap bolts are tightened in 2 progressive
steps (steps (b) and (d)).

If any of the main bearing cap bolts is broken or deformed,
replace it.
(a) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under
the main bearing cap bolts.
(b) Install and uniformly tighten the 16 main bearing cap bolts
in several passes and in the sequence shown.
Torque: 22 N´m (225 kgf´cm, 16 ft´lbf)
If any of the main bearing cap bolts does not meet the torque
specification, replace the main bearing cap bolt.
(c) Mark the front of the main bearing cap bolts with paint.
(d) Retighten the main bearing cap bolts by 90° in the numer-
ical order shown.
(e) Check that the painted mark is now at a 90° angle to the
front.

(a) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under
the heads of the connecting rod cap bolts.
(b) Install and alternately tighten the 2 connecting rod cap
bolts in several passes.

If any of the connecting rod cap bolts does not meet the torque
specification, replace the connecting rod cap bolts.
(c) Mark the front of the connecting cap bolts with paint.
(d) Retighten the cap bolts by 90° as shown.
(e) Check that the painted mark is now at a 90° angle to the
front.
(f) Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
14. CHECK CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE
(See page EM-83)
15. INSTALL REAR OIL SEAL RETAINER
(a) Remove any old packing (FIPG) material and be careful
not to drop any oil on the contact surfaces of the oil seal
retainer and cylinder block.

Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all
the oil packing (FIPG) material from the gasket sur-
faces and sealing grooves.

Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the
loose material.

Using a non-residue solvent, clean both sealing
surfaces.
(b) Apply seal packing to the oil seal retainer as shown in the
illustration.
Seal packing: Part No. 08826-00080 or equivalent

Install a nozzle that has been cut to a 2 - 3 mm (0.08
- 0.12 in.) opening.

Parts must be assembled within 3 minutes of ap-
plication. Otherwise the material must be removed
and reapplied.

Immediately remove nozzle from the tube and rein-
stall cap.
(c) Install the oil seal retainer with the 6 bolts. Uniformly tight-
en the bolt in several passes and in the sequence shown.
Torque: 8 N´m (80 kgf´cm, 69 in.´lbf)
16. INSTALL CYLINDER BLOCK SIDE COVER
Install a new gasket and the cylinder block side cover with the
3 bolts and 2 nuts.
Torque: 9 N´m (90 kgf´cm, 78 in.´lbf)

(d) Check the valve overall length.
Standard overall length:
Intake95.45 mm (3.5779 in.)
Exhaust95.40 mm (3.7559 in.)
Minimum overall length:
Intake94.95 mm (3.7382 in.)
Exhaust94.90 mm (3.7362 in.)
If the overall length is less than minimum, replace the valve.
(e) Check the surface of the valve stem tip for wear.
If the valve stem tip is worn, resurface the tip with a grinder or
replace the valve.
NOTICE:
Do not grind off more than minimum.
11. INSPECT AND CLEAN VALVE SEATS
(a) Using a 45° carbide cutter, resurface the valve seats.
Remove only enough metal to clean the seats.
(b) Check the valve seating position.
Apply a light coat of prussian blue (or white lead) to the
valve face. Lightly press the valve against the seat. Do not
rotate valve.
(c) Check the valve face and seat for the following:

If blue appears 360° around the face, the valve is
concentric. If not, replace the valve.

If blue appears 360° around the valve seat, the
guide and face are concentric. If not, resurface the
seat.

Check that the seat contact is in the middle of the
valve face with the following width:
1.0 - 1.4 mm (0.039 - 0.055 in.)
If not, correct the valve seats as follows:
(1) If the seating is too high on the valve face, use 30°
and 45° cutters to correct the seat.
