20. Remove oil jet relief valve.
ASSEMBLY
1. Blow air sufficiently to inside engine coolant passage, engine oil passage, crankcase and cylinder bore to
remove foreign matter.
CAUTION:
Use a goggles to protect your eye.
2. Install oil jet relief valve.
3. Install oil jet.

Align knock pin on back of oil jet with hole on block when
installing oil jet.
4. Install main bearings and thrust bearings.
a. Remove contamination, dust and engine oil from bearing mount-
ing positions on cylinder block and main bearing caps.
b. Install thrust bearings on both sides of No. 3 housing on cylinder
block.

Install thrust bearings with oil groove facing to crankshaft arm
(outside).
c. Being careful with the direction, install main bearings.

Install main bearings with the oil holes and grooves onto the
cylinder block side, and those without oil holes and grooves
onto the main cap side.

While installing bearings, apply engine oil to bearing surfaces
(inside). Do not apply engine oil to rear surfaces, but clean
them completely.

Align stopper notches on bearings to install them.

Make sure that the oil holes on the cylinder block body are
mated with the oil hole positions on the bearings.
5. Install crankshaft to cylinder block.

Make sure crankshaft rotates smoothly by hand.
6. Install main bearing caps.

Identify main bearing caps by the punched mark. Install cor-
rectly matching the journal No. on the bearing cap and the
journal with the front mark facing forward.

Main bearing caps are commonly processed with the cylinder
block. Therefore, caps and cylinder block should be replaced
as a set.
7. Check the main bearing cap bolts for deformation. Refer to EM-
234, "MAIN BEARING CAP BOLT DEFORMATION" .

8. With the TORX socket (size: E14, commercial service tool),
tighten the main bearing cap bolts according to the following
procedure:
a. Apply engine oil to the threaded part and seat surface of each
bolt.
b. Tighten all bolts in numerical order shown in the figure.
c. Put alignment marks (with paint) on each bolt and the main
bearing cap, all in the same direction. (When using a protractor)
d. Then, tighten 90 degrees to 95 degrees [target: 90 degrees].
(angle tightening)
CAUTION:
Always use either the angle wrench (special service tool) or
protractor during angular tightening. Avoid tightening
based on visual checks alone.

After tightening bolts to specified torque, make sure that
crankshaft rotates smoothly.

Check crankshaft end play. Refer to EM-226, "CRANKSHAFT
END PLAY" .
9. Check the outer diameter of connecting rod bolts. Refer to EM-
234, "CONNECTING ROD BOLT DEFORMATION" .
10. Install piston to connecting rod.
a. Using the snap ring pliers, install snap rings to groove on piston rear side.

Fit snap ring correctly into grooves.
b. Install pistons to connecting rods.

Using the industrial use dryer, heat pistons up to approx. 60 to
70°C (140 to 158°F) until piston pin can be pressed down by
finger touch. Then insert piston pin into piston and connecting
rod from front side of piston toward rear.

Assemble piston and connecting rod with front mark of piston
head and cylinder No. stamped on connecting rod being posi-
tioned as shown in the figure.
c. Install snap ring to front side of piston.

Refer to above step a for precaution on snap ring installation.

After installation, check connecting rods for smooth move-
ment.
11. Use the piston ring expander (commercial service tool) to install piston rings.
CAUTION:
When installing, prevent piston from being damaged.: 25 - 30 N·m (2.5 - 3.1 kg-m, 18 - 22 ft-lb)

Install top ring and second ring with punched mark surfaces
facing upward.

Install rings so that three closed gap position 120 degrees
apart one another.

Closed gaps do not need to face in a specific directions, as
long as each are positioned 120 degrees apart.
12. Install connecting rod bearing to connecting rod and cap.

While installing connecting rod bearing, apply engine oil to
bearing surfaces (inside). Do not apply engine oil to rear sur-
faces, but clean them completely.

Align protrusions on connecting rod bearings with connecting
rod cut-outs to install connecting rod bearings.
13. Install piston and connecting rod assembly to crankshaft.

Move crankshaft pin to be assembled to BDC.

Align cylinder position with cylinder No. on connecting rod to
install piston and connecting rod assembly.

Using the piston ring compressor (special service tool) or suit-
able tool, install piston and connecting rod assembly with front
mark on piston head facing toward the front side of engine.
CAUTION:
When installing piston and connecting rod assembly, pre-
vent the big end of connecting rod from interfering with
oil jet.
14. Install connecting rod caps and mounting nuts.

Align cylinder No. stamped on connecting rod with that on cap
to install connecting rod cap.

Make sure that the front mark on connecting rod cap faces
towards the front of the engine.
15. Tighten connecting rod nuts according to the following procedure:
a. Apply engine oil on bolt threads and seat surface of nuts.

d. Tighten bolts.
e. Tighten 120 degrees to 125 degrees [target: 120 degrees].
(angle tightening)

Always use either the angle wrench (special service tool)
or protractor during angular tightening. Avoid tightening
based on visual checks alone.

After tightening nuts, make sure that crankshaft rotates
smoothly.

Check connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-226,
"CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE" .
16. Press fit rear oil seal into rear oil seal retainer.

Using the drift [105 mm (4.13 in) dia.], press fit so that the
dimension is as specified in the figure.

Avoid inclined fitting. Force fit perpendicularly.
17. Install rear oil seal retainer to cylinder block.

Apply new engine oil to the oil and dust seal lips.

Apply liquid gasket to rear oil seal retainer using the tube
presser (special service tool: WS39930000) as shown in the
figure.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
18. Press fit pilot bush into flywheel.

21. Remove engine from engine stand in the reverse order of assembly.
22. Install flywheel.

When installing flywheel to crankshaft, be sure to correctly
align crankshaft side dowel pin and flywheel side dowel pin-
hole.

There is a mating mark on the clutch cover side, Refer it dur-
ing installation.

Holding ring gear with the ring stopper (special service tool),
tighten securing bolts with TORX bit (size: T55, Commercial
Service Tool).

PISTON RING SIDE CLEARANCE

Using feeler gauge, measure the side clearance between piston
ring and piston ring groove.
Unit: mm (in)

Align top ring and external surface of piston. Measure lower side
clearance of top ring with top ring pressed onto upper side of
ring groove.

If side clearance exceeds the limit, replace piston ring.

Check clearance again. If side clearance still exceeds the limit,
replace piston.
PISTON RING END GAP

Make sure that cylinder bore diameter is within the specifica-
tions. Refer to EM-230, "
PISTON TO CYLINDER BORE
CLEARANCE" .

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.
Unit: mm (in)

If out of the limit, replace piston ring. If gap still exceeds the limit even with a new ring, re-bore cylinder
and use oversized piston and piston ring. Refer to EM-230, "
PISTON TO CYLINDER BORE CLEAR-
ANCE" .

Piston Pin Outer Diameter
Use micrometer to measure piston pin outer diameter.
Calculation of Connecting Rod Bushing Clearance
(Connecting rod bushing clearance) = (Connecting rod bushing inner diameter) − (Piston pin outer diameter)

If it exceeds the limit, replace connecting rod and/or piston and piston pin assembly. Refer to EM-223,
"HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING" and/or EM-222, "HOW TO SELECT PISTON" .
CYLINDER BLOCK TOP SURFACE DISTORTION

Using scraper, remove gasket installed onto cylinder block sur-
face. Remove contamination such as engine oil, scale, and car-
bon.
CAUTION:
Keep broken pieces of gasket clear of engine oil and engine
coolant passages.

Use straightedge and feeler gauge to check block upper surface
for six distortion.

If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder block.
MAIN BEARING HOUSING INNER DIAMETER

Without installing main bearings, install main bearing caps, and
tighten bolts to the specified torque. Refer to EM-217, "
ASSEM-
BLY" .

Measure the inner diameter of main bearing housing with a bore
gauge.

If the measurement is out of the standard, replace cylinder block
and main bearing caps.
NOTE:
These components cannot be replaced as a single unit, because
they were processed together.Standard : 27.995 - 28.000 mm (1.1022 - 1.1024 in)
