14. Install connecting rod bearing cap.
Match the stamped cylinder number marks on connecting rod
with those on cap to install.
15. Tighten connecting rod nuts as follows:
a. Apply new engine oil to the threads and seats of connecting rod bolts and nuts.
b. Tighten connecting rod nuts.
c. Then tighten all connecting rod nuts 60 degrees clockwise. (Angle tightening)
CAUTION:
Use angle wrench (SST) to check tightening angle. Do not
make judgment by visual inspection.
After tightening connecting rod nuts, make sure that crank-
shaft rotates smoothly.
Check the connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-262,
"CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE" .
16. Install knock sensor.
Install it with its connector facing the rear of engine.
Install the sub-harness with its shorter branch line to the right
bank.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten mounting bolts while holding connector.
If any impact by dropping is applied to knock sensor,
replace it with new one.
NOTE:
Make sure that there is no foreign material on the cylinder
block mating surface and the back surface of knock sensor.
Make sure that knock sensor does not interfere with other parts.
17. Note the following, and assemble in the reverse order of disassembly after this step. Drive plate
When installing drive plate to crankshaft, be sure to correctly
align crankshaft side guide pin and drive plate side guide pin
hole.
–If these are not aligned correctly, engine runs roughly and
“MIL” turns on.

How to Select Piston and Bearing ABS00E9Q
DESCRIPTION
*: For the service parts, the grade for fitting cannot be selected between piston pin and connecting rod. (Only “0” grade is a vailable.) The
information at the shipment from the plant is described as a reference.
The identification grade stamped on each part is the grade for the dimension measured in new condition.
This grade cannot apply to reused parts.
For reused or repaired parts, measure the dimension accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the
measurement with the values of each selection table.
For details of the measurement method of each part, the reuse standards, and the selection method of the
selective fitting parts, refer to the text.
HOW TO SELECT PISTON
When New Cylinder Block is Used:
Check the cylinder bore grade (“1”, “2” or “3”) on the rear upper side
between cylinder block banks, and select piston of the same grade.
NOTE:
Piston is available with piston pin as a set for the service part. (Only
“0” grade piston pin is available.)

HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING
When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are Used:
Check pin diameter grade (“0”, “1” or “2”) on front of crankshaft, and
select connecting rod bearing of the same grade.
NOTE:
There is no grading for connecting rod big end diameter.
When Crankshaft and Connecting Rod are Reused:
1. Measure the connecting rod big end diameter. Refer to EM-264, "CONNECTING ROD BIG END DIAME-
TER" .
2. Make sure that the connecting rod big end diameter is within the standard value.
3. Measure the crankshaft pin journal diameter. Refer to EM-268, "
CRANKSHAFT PIN JOURNAL DIAME-
TER" .
4. Determine the grade of crankshaft pin diameter grade by corresponding to the measured dimension in “Crankshaft pin journal diameter” column of “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table”.
5. Select connecting rod bearing of the same grade.

Under Size Bearings Usage Guide
When the specified connecting rod bearing oil clearance is not obtained with standard size connecting rod
bearings, use undersize (US) bearings.
When using undersize (US) bearing, measure the connecting rod bearing inner diameter with bearing
installed, and grind crankshaft pin so that the connecting rod bearing oil clearance satisfies the standard.
CAUTION:
In grinding crankshaft pin to use undersize bearings, keep
the fillet R [1.5 mm (0.059 in)].
