8) Install guide hose (1) over threads of rod bolts.
This prevents damage to bearing journal and rod bolt
threads when removing connecting rod.
9) Decarbon top of cylinder bore before removing piston from
cylinder.
10) Push piston and connecting rod assembly out through the
top of cylinder bore.
DISASSEMBLY
1) Using piston ring expander, remove two compression rings
(Top and 2nd) and oil ring from piston.
2) Remove piston pin from connecting rod.
Ease out piston pin circlips (1), as shown.
Force piston pin out.
CLEANING
Decarbon piston head and ring grooves, using a suitable tool.
INSPECTION
Cylinder
Inspect cylinder walls for scratches, roughness or ridges
which indicate excessive wear. If cylinder bore is very rough
or deeply scratched or ridged, rebore cylinder and use over-
size piston.

INSTALLATION
1) Apply engine oil to pistons, rings, cylinder walls, connecting
rod bearings and crankpins.
2) Install guide hoses (1) over connecting rod bolts.
These guide hoses protect crank pin and threads of rod bolt
from damage during installation of connecting rod and piston
assembly.
3) When installing piston and connecting rod assembly into cyl-
inder bore, point front mark on piston head to crankshaft pul-
ley side.
4) Install piston and connecting rod assembly into cylinder
bore. Use special tool (Piston ring compressor) to compress
rings. Guide connecting rod into place on crankshaft.
Using a hammer handle, tap piston head to install piston into
bore. Hold ring compressor firmly against cylinder block until
all piston rings have entered cylinder bore.
Special tool
(A) : 09916-77310 NOTE:
Do not apply oil between connecting rod and bearing or
between bearing cap and bearing.

REMOVAL
1) Remove engine assembly from vehicle as previously out-
lined.
2) Remove clutch cover, clutch disc and flywheel (drive plate
for A/T) by using special tool.

3) Remove the following parts from engine as previously out-
lined.
Oil pan and oil pump strainer
Intake manifold and exhaust manifold
Cylinder head cover
Timing chain cover
Timing chain guide, chain tensioner adjuster, chain ten-
sioner, timing chain and crankshaft timing sprocket
Camshaft, tappet and shim

4) Remove rear oil seal housing (1).
5) Loosen bearing cap No.1 and No.2 bolts in such order as
indicated in figure and remove them.
6) Remove crankshaft from cylinder block.

INSTALLATION
1) Install sensor plate (1) to crankshaft (2) and tighten bolts to
specified torque.
Tightening torque
Sensor plate bolts (a) : 11 N·m (1.1 kg-m, 8.0 lb-ft)
2) Install main bearings to cylinder block.
Upper half of bearing (1) has an oil groove (2).
Install it to cylinder block (3), and the other half without oil
groove to bearing cap.
Make sure that two halves are painted in the same color.
3) Install thrust bearings (1) to cylinder block between No.2 and
No.3 cylinders. Face oil groove (2) sides to crank webs.
4) Confirm that dowel pins(3) are installed to intake side of
each journal. NOTE:
All parts to be installed must be perfectly clean.
Be sure to oil crankshaft journals, journal bearings,
thrust bearings, crankpins, connecting rod bearings,
pistons, piston rings and cylinder bores.
Journal bearings, bearings caps, connecting rods, rod
bearings, rod bearing caps, pistons and piston rings
are in combination sets. Do not disturb such combina-
tion and make sure that each part goes back to where
it came from, when installing.
NOTE:
When installing sensor plate, align spring pin (3) on
crankshaft and hole of sensor plate.
