Assembly
PISTON
1. Assemble pistons, piston pins, snap rings and connecting rods.
a. Numbers are stamped on the connecting rod and cap cor-
responding to each cylinder. Care should be taken to avoid
a wrong combination including bearing.
b. When inserting piston pin in connecting rod, heat piston
with a heater or hot water [approximately 60 to 70ÉC (140
to 158ÉF)] and apply engine oil to pin and small end of
connecting rod.
c. After assembling, ascertain that piston swings smoothly.
2. Install piston assembly.
CAUTION:
a. Stretch the piston rings just enough to fit them in the pis-
ton grooves.
b. Be sure the manufacturer's mark faces upward.
c. Install No. 1 piston ring (oil ring) in such a way that its gap
faces the direction of engine front, as shown in illustration
at left; and then install 2nd and top rings so that their gap
is positioned at 120É one to another.
CRANKSHAFT
1. Install crankshaft.
(1) Set main bearings in the proper position on cylinder block.
a. If either crankshaft, cylinder block or main bearing is
reused again, it is necessary to measure main bearing
clearance.
b. Upper bearings have oil hole and oil groove, however
lower bearings do not.
