REPLACEMENT
1. REPLACE OVERSIZED (O/S) PISTONS FOR CYL-
INDER BORING
HINT:
Bore all the 8 cylinders to match the oversized piston out-
side diameter.
Replace all the piston rings with ones to match the over-
sized pistons.
(a) Keep 8 new oversized pistons.
O/S 0.50 piston diameter:
94.402 to 94.430 mm (3.7166 to 3.7177 in.)
HINT:
The shape of the piston differs for the LH and RH banks. The
LH piston is marked with 1 cavity and º2º, the RH piston with 2
cavities and º2º.
(b) Using a micrometer, measure the piston diameter at right
angles to the piston pin center line, 30.75 mm (1.2106 in.)
from the piston head.
(c) Calculate the size to be rebored for each cylinder as fol-
lows:
Size to be rebored = P + C ± H
P = Piston diameter
C = Piston clearance:
0.030 to 0.071 mm (0.0012 to 0.0028 in.)
H = Allowance for honing: 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.) or less
(d) Bore and hone the cylinders to calculated dimensions.
Maximum honing: 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.)
NOTICE:
Excess honing will destroy the finished roundness.
2. REPLACE CONNECTING ROD BUSHINGS
(a) Using SST and a press, press out the bushing.
SST 09222±30010
(b) Align the oil holes of a new bushing and the connecting
rod.
(c) Using SST and a press, press in the bushing.

(d) Using a pin hole grinder, hone the bushing to obtain the
standard specified clearance (See page EM±101) be-
tween the bushing and piston pin.
(e) Check the piston pin fit at normal room temperature. Coat
the piston pin with engine oil, and push it into the connect-
ing rod with your thumb.
3. REPLACE CRANKSHAFT FRONT OIL SEAL (See
page LU±13)
4. REPLACE CRANKSHAFT REAR OIL SEAL
HINT:
There are 2 methods ((a) and (b)) to replace the oil seal.
(a) If the rear oil seal retainer is removed from the cylinder
block:
(1) Using a screwdriver and hammer, tap out the oil
seal.
(2) Using SST and a hammer, tap in a new oil seal until
its surface is flush with the rear oil seal retainer
edge.
SST 09223±56010
(3) Apply MP grease to the oil seal lip.
(b) If the rear oil seal retainer is installed to the cylinder block:
(1) Using a knife, cut off the oil seal lip.
(2) Using a screwdriver, pry out the oil seal.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the crankshaft. Tape the screw-
driver tip.

REASSEMBLY
HINT:
Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
Before installing the parts, apply new engine oil to all slid-
ing and rotating surfaces.
Replace all gaskets, O±rings and oil seals with new ones.
1. ASSEMBLE PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD
(a) Using a screwdriver, install a new snap ring on one side
of the piston pin hole.
(b) Gradually heat the piston to about 60°C (140°F).
(c) Coat the piston pin with engine oil.
(d) Position the piston so that the front mark and to the out-
side mark on the connecting rod face in the same direc-
tion as shown in the illustration.
NOTICE:
The installation directions of the piston and connecting rod
are different for the LH and RH banks. The LH piston is
marked with 1 cavity and º2º, the RH piston with 2 cavities
and º2º.
(e) Align the piston pin holes of the piston and connecting
rod, and push in the piston pin with your thumb.
(f) Using a screwdriver, install a new snap ring on the other
side of the piston pin hole.

(0.886 in.) in width. Install the 22.5 mm (0.886 in.) bear-
ings in the No.1 and No.5 cylinder block journal positions
