2002 HONDA CIVIC oil pan

Piston Ring Replacement
1. Remove the piston {rom the cylinder block (see
page 7 -121.
2. Using a ring expander (A), remove the old piston
rings (B).
3. Clean all ring grooves thoroughly with a squared-
off broken ring or ring groove cleaner with a blade
to fit the pislon grooves. The top and 2nd ringgrooves are 1.2 mm (0.05 in,)wide. The oil ringgroove is 2.0 mm (0.08 in.) wide. File down a blade
lf necessary. Do not use a wire brush to clean the
ring grooves, or cut the ring grooves deeper with
the cleaning tools.
NOTE: lf the piston is to be separated from the
connecting rod, do not install new rings yet.
4. Using a piston, push a new ring (A) into the
cylinder bore 15-20 mm {0.6-0.8 in.) from the
bottom.

Measure the piston ring end-gap (B) with a feelerga uge:
. lf the gap istoo small, checkto see if you have
the proper rings for your engine.. lf the gap istoo large, recheckthecylinder bore
diameter against the wear limits (see slep 4 onpage 7-15).. lf the bore is overthe service limit, the cylinder
block must be rebored.

Piston Installation
lf the crankshaft is already installed
1. Setthe crankshaftto bottom dead center (BDC) for
each cylinder.
2. Remove the connecting rod caps, then install the
ring compressor, and check that the bearing is
securely in place,
3. Position the arrow {A) facing the cam chain side of
rne engtne.
Position the piston in the cylinder, and tap it in
using the wooden handle of a hammer (A).
N4aintain downward force on the ring compressor(B) to prevent the rings from expanding before
entering the cylinder bore.
Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and
check the connecting rod-to-crank journal
alignment before pushing the piston into place.
Check the connecting rod bearing clearance withplastigage (see page 7-8).
lnspect the connecting rod bolts (see page 7 241.
Apply engine oil to the bolt threads, then install the
rod caps with bearings. Torque the bolts to 20 N.m
{2.0 kgf m, 14 lbf ft) + 90'.

OilPan lnstallation
Remove old liquid gasket from the oil pan mating
surfaces, bolts, and bolt holes.
Clean and dry the oil pan mating surfaces.
Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08718-0009, evenly to the
cylinder block mating surface of the oil pan and to
the inner threads of the bolt holes.
NOTE: Do not install the parts if 5 minutes or more
have elapsed since applying liquid gasket. Instead,
reapply liquid gasket after removing old residue.
Installthe oil pan.
Tighten the bolts in two or three steps. In the final
step, tighten all bolts, in sequence, to 12 N.m (1.2
