PISTON & CONNECTING ROD
DESCRIPTION
The pistons are of a free floating design. Oil jets in
the engine block lubricate and cool the piston and pin
assembly. The connecting rods have a pressed in
place wrist pin bushing which is lubricated by the oil
jets (Fig. 48).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - PISTON RING
FITTING
(1) Wipe cylinder bore clean. Insert ring and push
down with piston to ensure it is square in bore. The
ring gap measurement must be made with the ring
positioning at least 12 mm (0.50 in.) from bottom of
cylinder bore (Fig. 49). Check gap with feeler gauge.
Top compression ring gap .30 to .45mm (.0118 to
.0177 in.). Second compression ring gap .30 to .45mm(.0118 to .0177 in.). Oil control ring gap .25 to .50mm
(.0098 to .0196 in.).
(2) If ring gaps exceed dimension given, new rings
or cylinder liners must be fitted. Keep piston rings in
piston sets.
(3) Check piston ring to groove clearance (Fig. 50).
Top compression ring gap .080 to .130mm (.0031 to
.0051 in.). Second compression ring gap .070 to
.110mm (.0027 to .0043 in.). Oil control ring gap .040
to .080mm (.0015 to .0031 in.).
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Remove cylinder head (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
CYLINDER HEAD - REMOVAL).

(6) Remove balance shaft assembly (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/BALANCE SHAFT -
REMOVAL).
(7) Remove top ridge of cylinder bores with a ridge
reamer before removing pistons from cylinder block.
Be sure to keep top of pistons covered during
this operation.
(8) Piston and connecting rods must be removed
from top of cylinder block. Rotate crankshaft so that
each connecting rod is centered in cylinder bore.NOTE: Be careful not to nick or scratch crankshaft
journals
(9) After removal, install bearing cap on the mat-
ing rod and mark pistons with matching cylinder
number when removed from engine block.
PISTON PIN - REMOVAL
(1) Secure connecting rods in a soft jawed vice.

PISTON RING - REMOVAL
(1) ID mark on face of top and second piston rings
must point toward piston crown.
(2) Using a suitable ring expander, remove top and
second piston rings (Fig. 52).
(3) Remove upper oil ring side rail, lower oil ring
side rail and then the oil expander from piston.
(4) Carefully clean carbon from piston crowns,
skirts and ring grooves ensuring the 4 oil holes in
the oil control ring groove are clear.
INSPECTION
PISTONS
(1) Piston Diameter: Size: 91.912-91.928mm
(3.6185-3.6192 in.) Maximum wear limit .05mm
(.0019 in.).
(2) Check piston pin bores in piston for roundness.
Make 3 checks at 120É intervals. Maximum out of
roundness .05mm (.0019in.).
(3) The piston diameter should be measured
approximately 15 mm (.590 in.) up from the base.
(4) Skirt wear should not exceed 0.1 mm (.00039
in.).
(5) The clearance between the cylinder liner and
piston should not exceed 0.065-0.083 mm
(.0025-.0032 in.).
(6) Make sure the weight of the pistons does not
differ by more than 5 g.
CONNECTING RODS
(1) Assemble bearing shells and bearing caps to
their respective connecting rods ensuring that the
serrations on the cap and reference marks are
aligned.
(2) Tighten connecting cap bolts to 29 N´m (21 ft.
lbs.) plus 60É.
(3) Without loosening connecting rod bolts, tighten
all bolts to 88N´m.(4) Check and record internal diameter of crank
end of connecting rod.
NOTE: When changing connecting rods, all four
must have the same weight and be stamped with
the same number. Replacement connecting rods
will only be supplied in sets of four.
Connecting rods are supplied in sets of four since
they all must be of the same weight category. Max
allowable weight difference is 5 gr.
NOTE: On one side of the big end of the con-rod
there is a two-digit number which refers to the
weight category. On the other side of the big end
there is a four digit number on both the rod and the
cap. These numbers must both face the injection
pump side of the block (Fig. 53). Lightly heat the
piston in oven. Insert piston pin in position and
secure it with provided snap rings.
The Four digit numbers marked on con rod
big end and rod cap must be on the same side
as the injection pump (Fig. 53).After having
coated threads with Molyguard, tighten con rod bolts
to 29 N´m (21 ft. lbs.) plus 60É.
PISTON PINS
(1) Measure the diameter of piston pin in the cen-
ter and both ends.
(2) Piston pin diameter is 29.992 to 29.996mm
(1.1807 to 1.1809 in.).
