6. Piston Ring
1. Use a piston ring replacer to install the three piston
rings.
Piston Ring Replacer
Install the piston rings in the order shown in the
illustration.
1. Oil ring
2. 2nd compression ring
3. 1st compression ring
NOTE:
Install the compression rings with the stamped side
facing up.
Insert the expander coil into the oil ring groove so that
there is no gap on either side of the expander coil
before installing the oil ring.
2. Apply engine oil to the piston ring surfaces.
3. Check that the piston rings rotate smoothly in the
piston ring grooves
7. Connecting Rod Bearing
Carefully wipe any oil or other foreign material from the
connecting rod bearing back face and the connecting rod
bearing fitting surface.

Reassembly
1. Cylinder Body
Use compressed air to thoroughly clean the inside and
outside surfaces of the cylinder body, the oil holes, and the
water jackets.
2. Tappet
1. Apply a coat of engine oil to the tappet and the
cylinder body tappet insert holes.
2. Locate the position mark applied at disassembly (if
the tappet is to be reused).
NOTE:
The tappet must be installed before the camshaft
installation.
3. Crankshaft Upper Bearing
The crankshaft upper bearings have an oil hole and an oil
groove. The lower bearings do not.
1. Carefully wipe any foreign material from the upper
bearing.
NOTE:
Do not apply engine oil to the bearing back faces and
the cylinder body bearing fitting surfaces.
2. Locate the position mark applied at disassembly if the
removed upper bearings are to be reused.
4. Crankshaft
Apply an ample coat of engine oil to the crankshaft journals
and the crankshaft bearing surfaces before installing the
crankshaft.

5. Crankshaft Thrust Bearing
Apply an ample coat of engine oil to the thrust bearings
before installation.
Install the thrust bearings to the crankshaft center journal.
The thrust bearing oil grooves must be facing the sliding
faces.
6. Crankshaft Bearing Cap With Lower Bearing
Before the crankshaft bearing installation, select the
appropriate bearings in accordance with the description in
CRANK BEARING SELECTION of INSPECTION AND
REPAIR.
1. Apply the recommended liquid gasket or its equivalent
to the No. 5 crankshaft bearing cap cylinder body fitting
surfaces at the points shown in the illustration.
NOTE:
Be sure that the bearing cap fitting surface is
completely free of oil before applying the liquid
gasket. Three bond 1207B Do not allow the liquid
gasket to obstruct the cylinder thread holes and
bearings.
ThreeBond 1207B is a fast-drying liquid gasket.
Tighten the bearing caps immediately after applying
the gasket.
2. Install the bearing caps with the bearing cap head
arrow mark facing the front of the engine.The bearing
cap numbers must be facing up.
3. Apply engine oil to the crankshaft bearing cap bolts.
4. Tighten the crankshaft bearing cap bolts to the
specified torque a little at time in the sequence shown
in the illustration.
Crankshaft Bearing Cap Torque N·m(kg·m/lbft)
167 (17/123)
5. Check to see the crankshaft turns smoothly by rotating
it manually.

7. Camshaft
1. Apply a coat of engine oil to the camshaft and the
camshaft bearings.
2. Install the camshaft to the cylinder body.
Take care not to damage the camshaft bearings.
8. Timing Gear Case
Tighten the timing gear case with timing gear case gasket
to the specified torque.
Timing Gear Case Bolt Torque N·m(kg·m/lbft)
19 (1.9/14)
9. Camshaft Thrust Plate
Install the thrust plate to the cylinder body and tighten the
thrust plate bolts to the specified torque.
Thrust Plate Bolt Torque N·m(kg·m/lbft)

RTW36ASH000901
10. Camshaft Timing Gear
1. Install the camshaft timing gear to the camshaft. The
timing gear mark must be facing outward.
2. Tighten the timing gear to the specified torque.
Timing Gear Bolt Torque N·m(kg·m/lbft)

11. Piston and Connecting Rod with Upper Bearing
12. Connecting Rod Bearing Cap with Lower Bearing
1. Apply a coat of engine oil to the circumference of each
piston ring and piston.
2. Position the piston ring gaps as shown in the
illustration.
1. Oil ring
2. 2nd compression ring
3. 1st compression ring
3. Apply a coat of molybdenum disulfide grease to the two
piston skirts.
This will facilitate smooth break-in when the engine is
first started after reassembly.
4. Apply a coat of engine oil to the upper bearing
surfaces.
5. Apply a coat of engine oil to the cylinder wall.
6. Position the piston head front mark so that it is facing
the front of the engine.
7. Use the piston ring compressor to compress the piston
rings.
Piston Ring Compressor: 5-8840-9018-0
8. Use a hammer grip to push the piston in until the
connecting rod makes contact with the crankpin.
At the same time, rotate the crankshaft until the
crankpin is at BDC.
9. Align the bearing cap cylinder number marks and the
connecting rod cylinder number marks.
The cylinder number marks must be turned toward the
exhaust manifold.
