20. Camshaft Timing Gear
1. Use a dial indicator to measure the camshaft end play.
This must be done before removing the camshaft
gear.
If the camshaft end play exceeds the specified limit,
the thrust plate must be replaced.
Camshaft End Play mm (in)
Standard Limit
0.050 - 0.114
(0.002 - 0.0044) 0.20
(0.008)
2. Remove the camshaft timing gear bolt from the
camshaft.
Note:
Hold the camshaft stationary to prevent the camshaft
from turning.
3. Remove the sensor rotor plate.
4. Use the universal puller to pull out the camshaft
timing gear.
Universal Puller: 5-8521-0002-0
5. Remove the thrust plate.

25. Piston Cooling Oil Jet
The oiling jet uses thin steel tubing which is easily bent.
Accidental contact between the oiling jet and the cylinder
body, piston, or a tool will damage the oiling jet.
Never attempt to repair a damaged oiling jet. Replace it
with a new one.

26. Connecting Rod Bearing Cap with Lower Bearing
If the connecting rod lower bearings are to be reinstalled,
mark their fitting positions by tagging each bearing with the
cylinder number from which it was removed.
27. Piston and Connecting Rod with Upper Bearing
1. Remove carbon deposits from the upper portion of the
cylinder wall with a scraper before removing the piston
and connecting rod.
2. Move the piston to the top of the cylinder and tap it
with a hammer grip or a similar object from the
connecting rod lower side to drive it out.

If the connecting rod upper bearings are to be reinstalled,
mark their fitting positions by tagging each bearing with the
cylinder number from which it was removed.
28. Crankshaft Bearing Cap with Lower Bearing
1. Measure the crankshaft end play at the center journal
of the crankshaft.
Do this before removing the crankshaft bearing caps.
If the measured value exceeds the specified limit, the
crankshaft thrust bearing must be replaced.

2. Loosen the crankshaft bearing cap bolts in numerical
order a little at a time.
If the crankshaft bearings are to be reinstalled, mark
their fitting positions by tagging each bearing with the
cylinder number from which it was removed.

32. Tappet
If the tappets are to be reinstalled, mark their fitting
positions by tagging each tappet with the cylinder number
from which it was removed.
33. Crankshaft Rear Oil Seal
With the oil seal pushed in deep, install the special
tool as shown in the illustration and remove the oil
seal.

1. Connecting Rod Bearing
If the connecting rod bearings are to be reinstalled, mark
their fitting positions by tagging each bearing with the
cylinder number from which it was removed.
2. Piston Ring
1. Clamp the connecting rod in a vise.
Take care not to damage the connecting rod.
2. Use a piston ring replacer to remove the piston rings.
Piston Ring Replacer
Do not attempt to use some other tool to remove the
piston rings. Piston ring stretching will result in
reduced piston ring tension.
3. Piston Pin Snap Ring
Use a pair of pliers to remove the piston pin snap rings.
