MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method by measurement
IInstall main bearings to cylinder block and bearing caps, and
tighten bearing cap bolts to the specified torque. Measure main
bearing inner diameter.
Bearing clearance = Bearing inner diameter þ Crankshaft jour-
nal outer diameter
Standard: 0.035 - 0.083 mm (0.0014 - 0.0033 in)
IIf out of specification, check main bearing housing inner diam-
eter and crankshaft journal outer diameter, and select appropri-
ate main bearing to adjust clearance to specifications.
Refer to ªMain bearing undersize listº on the next page.
Method using plastigage
IRemove contamination such as oil, dust completely from crank-
shaft journals and each bearing surface.
ICut plastigage slightly shorter than bearing width, place it in
crankshaft direction, avoiding oil holes.
IInstall main bearings to caps, and tighten connecting rod nuts
to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Never rotate crankshaft.
IRemove bearing caps and bearings, and measure plastigage
width using scale on plastigage bag.

Undersize bearing usage
IIf bearing clearance is out of specifications for main bearings
in standard size, use undersize bearings.
IWhen using undersize bearings, measure bearing inner diam-
eter with bearing installed, and grind crank journals to adjust
clearance to specification.

Assembly
1. Blow air sufficiently to inside coolant passage, oil passage,
crankcase, and cylinder bore to remove foreign matter.
2. Install main bearings and thrust bearings.
1) Remove contamination, dust and oil from bearing mounting
positions on cylinder block and main bearing caps.
2) Install thrust bearings on both sides of No. 4 housing on cylin-
der block.
IInstall thrust bearings with oil groove facing to crankshaft arm
(outside).
3) Being careful with the direction, install main bearings.
IInstall main bearings with the oil holes and grooves onto the
cylinder block side, and those without oil holes and grooves
onto the lower cylinder block side.
IWhile installing bearings, apply engine oil to bearing surfaces
(inside). Do not apply oil to rear surfaces, but clean them com-
pletely.
IAlign stopper notches on bearings to install them.
ICheck that the oil holes on the cylinder block body are mated
with the oil hole positions on the bearings.
3. Install crankshaft to cylinder block.
IWhile rotating crankshaft by hand, check for smooth rotation.
4. Install lower cylinder block.
IApply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to lower cylinder block
as shown in the figure.
IUsing slots on engine sub-attachment, install the lower cylinder
block to the cylinder block, avoiding interference of dowel pins.
5. Tighten lower cylinder mounting bolts to the torque shown
below in 3 consecutive steps in the order shown in the figure.

6. Install mounting bolts for engine sub-attachment shown by
arrows in the figure.
IAfter tightening bolts to the specified torque, check crankshaft
for smooth rotation.
ICheck crankshaft end play.
Refer to EM-71, ªCRANKSHAFT END PLAYº.
7. Install pistons to connecting rod.
1) Using long nose pliers, install snap rings to grooves on piston
rear side.
IFit snap rings correctly into grooves.
2) Install pistons to connecting rods.
IUsing industrial dryer, heat pistons up to approx. 60 to 70ÉC
(140 to 158ÉF) until piston pin can be pressed down by finger
touch. Then insert piston pins into piston and connecting rod
from front side of piston toward rear.
IAssemble piston and connecting rod with front mark of piston
crown and cylinder No. stamped on connecting rod being posi-
tioned as shown in the figure.
3) Install snap rings to front side of pistons.
IRefer to above 1) for precaution on snap ring installation.
IAfter installation, check connecting rods for smooth movement.
8. Use piston ring expander (multi-purpose tool) to install piston
rings.
CAUTION:
When installing, prevent piston from being damaged.
IInstall top ring and second ring with stamped surfaces facing
upward.
Identification stamp:
Top ring: R
Second ring: RN
9. Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rods and caps.
IWhile installing connecting rod bearings, apply engine oil to
bearing surfaces (inside). Do not apply oil to rear surfaces, but
clean them completely.
IAlign stoppers on connecting rod bearings with connecting rod
stopper notches to install connecting rod bearings.

Parts Requiring Angular Tightening
ISome important engine parts are tightened using an angular-
tightening method rather than a torque setting method.
IIf these parts are tightened using a torque setting method, dis-
persal of the tightening force (axial bolt force) will be two or
three times that of the dispersal produced by using the correct
angular-tightening method.
IAlthough the torque setting values (described in this manual)
are equivalent to those used when bolts and nuts are tightened
with an angular-tightening method, they should be used for
reference only.
ITo assure the satisfactory maintenance of the engine, bolts and
nuts must be tightened using an angular-tightening method.
IBefore tightening the bolts and nuts, ensure that the thread and
seating surfaces are clean and then coated with engine oil.
IThe bolts and nuts which require the angular-tightening method
are as follows:
(1) Cylinder head bolts
(2) Connecting rod cap nuts
Liquid Gasket Application Procedure
a. Before applying liquid gasket, use a scraper to remove all
traces of old liquid gasket from mating surface and
grooves, and then completely clean any oil stains from
these portions.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating sur-
faces. (Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.)
IBe sure liquid gasket is 3.5 to 4.5 mm (0.138 to 0.177 in)
wide (oil pan).
IBe sure liquid gasket is 2.0 to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in)
wide (in areas except oil pan).
c. Apply liquid gasket to inner surface around hole perimeter.
(Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.)
d. Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil and
engine coolant.
