CAUTION:

Be careful not damage or deform signal plate mounted on
crankshaft.

When setting crankshaft on a flat floor surface, use a
block of wood to avoid interference between signal plate
and the floor surface.

Do not remove signal plate unless it is necessary to do
so.
NOTE:
When removing or installing signal plate, use TORX socket (size
T30).
17. Pull rear oil seal out from rear end of crankshaft.
CAUTION:

c. Install main bearings paying attention to the direction.

Main bearing with an oil hole and groove goes on cylinder
block. The one without them goes on lower cylinder block.

Only main bearing (on cylinder block) for No. 3 journal has dif-
ferent specifications.

Before installing main bearings, apply new engine oil to the
bearing surface (inside). Do not apply engine oil to the back
surface, but thoroughly clean it.

When installing, align main bearing stopper to the notch.

Ensure the oil holes on cylinder block and those on the corre-
sponding bearing are aligned.
4. Install signal plate to crankshaft if removed.
a. Position crankshaft and signal plate using dowel pin, and tighten
mounting bolts.
NOTE:

Dowel pin of crankshaft and signal plate is provided as a set
for each. If dowel pin is not available (when reusing crank-
shaft and signal plate), use M6 bolt [length 10 mm (0.39 in) or
more] as a substitute.

Figure shows an example of type 1.
b. Remove dowel pin.
CAUTION:
Be sure to remove dowel pin.
5. Install crankshaft to cylinder block.

While turning crankshaft by hand, make sure that it turns smoothly.
CAUTION:
Do not install rear oil seal yet.
6. Inspect outer diameter of lower cylinder block mounting bolts. Refer to EM-107, "
LOWER CYLINDER
BLOCK MOUNTING BOLT OUTER DIAMETER" .
7. Install lower cylinder block with the following procedure:
a. Apply liquid gasket with tube presser [SST: WS39930000] to
lower cylinder block as shown in the figure.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
CAUTION:
After liquid gasket is applied, rear oil seal installation must
be finished within 5 minutes. Therefore, the following pro-
cedure must be performed quickly.
NOTE:
Lower cylinder block cannot be replaced as a single part,
because it is machined together with cylinder block.
b. Tighten lower cylinder block mounting bolts with the following procedure:
i. Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of mounting bolts.

ii. Tighten M8 bolts in numerical order from No. 11 to 22 in the fig-
ure.
CAUTION:
Wipe off completely any protruding liquid gasket on rear oil
seal installation surface.
NOTE:
There are more processes to complete the tightening of mount-
ing bolts. However stop procedure here to install rear oil seal.
c. Install rear oil seal. Refer to EM-64, "
Removal and Installation of Rear Oil Seal" .
d. Restart tightening of lower cylinder block bolts with the following procedure:
i. Tighten M10 bolts in numerical order from No. 1 to 10 in the fig-
ure.
ii. Turn M10 bolts 60 degrees clockwise (angle tightening) in
numerical order from No. 1 to 10 in the figure.
CAUTION:
Check and confirm the tightening angle by using angle
wrench (SST) or protractor. Avoid judgment by visual
inspection without the tool.

After installing mounting bolts, make sure that crankshaft can be rotated smoothly by hand.

Wipe off completely any protruding liquid gasket on front side of engine.

Check crankshaft end play. Refer to EM-99, "CRANKSHAFT END PLAY" .
8. Install piston to connecting rod with the following procedure:
a. Using snap ring pliers, install new snap ring to the groove of the piston rear side.

Insert it fully into groove to install.
b. Assemble piston to connecting rod.

Using industrial drier or similar tool, heat the piston until the piston pin can be pushed in by hand with-
out excess force [approximately 60 to 70 °C (140 to 158 °F)]. From the front to the rear, insert piston pin
into piston and connecting rod. : 25.1 N·m (2.6 kg-m, 19 ft-lb)

Assemble so that the front mark on the piston head and the oil
holes and the cylinder number on connecting rod are posi-
tioned as shown in the figure.

Insert it fully into groove to install.

After installing, make sure that connecting rod moves
smoothly.
9. Using piston ring expander (commercial service tool), install piston rings.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage piston.

Be careful not to damage piston rings by expanding them excessively.

Position each ring with the gap as shown in the figure refer-
ring to the piston front mark.

Install second ring with the stamped surface facing upward.
NOTE:
If there is no stamped mark on piston ring, no specific orienta-
tion is required for installation.
10. Inspect outer diameter of connecting rod bolts. Refer to EM-107, "
CONNECTING ROD BOLT OUTER
DIAMETER" .
11. Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and connecting rod cap.

When installing connecting rod bearings, apply new engine oil to the bearing surface (inside). Do not
apply new engine oil to the back surface, but thoroughly clean it.

When installing, align the connecting rod bearing stopper pro-
trusion with the cutout of connecting rod and connecting rod
cap to install.

Ensure the oil hole on connecting rod and that on the corre-
sponding bearing are aligned.
12. Install piston and connecting rod assembly to crankshaft.

Position crankshaft pin corresponding to connecting rod to be installed onto the bottom dead center.

Apply new engine oil sufficiently to the cylinder bore, piston and crankshaft pin journal.

Match the cylinder position with the cylinder number on connecting rod to install.

When replacing piston and piston pin assembly, refer to EM-92, "HOW TO SELECT PISTON" .
NOTE:

Piston is available together with piston pin as an assembly.

The piston pin (piston pin hole) grade is provided only for the parts installed at the plant. For service
parts, no grades can be selected. (Only grade “0” is available.)
PISTON RING SIDE CLEARANCE

Measure the side clearance of piston ring and piston ring groove
with feeler gauge.

If the measured valve exceeds the limit, replace piston ring, and measure again. If it still exceeds the limit,
replace piston also.
PISTON RING END GAP

Make sure that cylinder bore inner diameter is within specifica-
tion. Refer to EM-103, "
Cylinder Bore Inner Diameter" .

Lubricate with new engine oil to piston and piston ring, and then
insert piston ring until middle of cylinder with piston, and mea-
sure piston ring end gap with feeler gauge.

If the measured valve exceeds the limit, replace piston ring, and measure again. If it still exceeds the limit,
re-bore cylinder inner wall and use oversized piston and piston rings.Standard:
