>>G<< CONNECTING ROD CAP NUT INSTALLATION 1. The connecting rod bolts should be examined before reuse. If the bolt threads
are damaged, the bolt should be replaced. Hand-thread the nut to the full length
of the bolt threads. If the nut does not run down smoothly, the bolt should be
replaced.
2. Before installation of each nut, apply engine oil to the threaded portion and
bearing surface of the nut.
3. Loosely tighten each nut to the bolt.
4. Then tighten the nuts alternately to a torque of 27+/-2 N.m (20+/-1 ft-lb) to
install the cap properly.
5. Make a
paint mark on the head of each nut.

INSPECTION PISTON Replace the piston if scratches or seizure is evident on its surfaces (especially the
thrust surface). Replace the piston if it is cracked. PISTON PIN 1. Insert the piston pin into the piston pin hole with a thumb. You should feel a
slight resistance. Replace the piston pin if it can be easily inserted or there is
excessive play.
2. The piston and piston pin must be replaced as an assembly. PISTON RING 1. Check the piston ring for damage, excessive wear, and breakage. Replace if
defects are evident. If the piston has been replaced with a new one, the piston
rings must also be replaced with new ones.
2. Check for clearance between the piston ring and ring groove. If the limit is
exceeded, replace the ring or piston, or both.

3. Insert the piston ring into the cylinder bore. Force the ring down with a piston,
the piston crown being in contact with the ring, to correctly position it at right
angles to the cylinder wall. Then, measure the end gap with a feeler gauge.

1. Remove oil from the crankshaft pin and the bearing inner surface.
2. Cut plastic gauging material to the same length as the width of the bearing and
place it on the pin in parallel with its axis.
3. Install the connecting rod cap carefully and tighten the nuts to the specified
torque.
4. Carefully remove the connecting rod cap.
5. Measure the width of the smashed plastic gauging material at its widest section
by using a scale printed on the plastic gauging material bag.
Standard value: 0.02 - 0.04 mm (0.0008 - 0.0016 inch)
Limit: 0.1 mm (0.003 inch)
