When installing, align the connecting rod bearing stopper pro-
trusion with the cutout of connecting rod and connecting rod
bearing cap to install.

Ensure the oil holes on connecting rod and that on the corre-
sponding bearing are aligned.
13. Install piston and connecting rod assembly to crankshaft.

Position the crankshaft pin corresponding to connecting rod to be installed onto the bottom dead center.

Apply engine oil sufficiently to the cylinder bore, piston and crankshaft pin journal.

Match the cylinder position with the cylinder No. on connecting rod to install.

Be sure that front mark on piston head is facing front of engine.

Using piston ring compressor [SST: EM03470000 (J8037)],
install piston with the front mark on the piston head facing the
front of engine.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage cylinder wall and crankshaft pin,
resulting from an interference of the connecting rod big
end.
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-265,
"CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE" .

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-
nostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any
customer's comments; refer to GW-9, "
Diagnostic Worksheet" . This information is necessary to duplicate the
conditions that exist when the noise occurs.

The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the noise. Attempt to
obtain all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).

If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that the customer
is concerned about. This can be accomplished by test driving the vehicle with the customer.

After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics. The noise characteristics
are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language when
defining the noise.

Squeak —(Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)
Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions/hard sur-
faces=higher pitch noise/softer surfaces=lower pitch noises/edge to surface=chirping

Creak—(Like walking on an old wooden floor)
Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch
dependent on materials/often brought on by activity.

Rattle—(Like shaking a baby rattle)
Rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contact/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.

Knock —(Like a knock on a door)
Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/often brought on by driver action.

Tick—(Like a clock second hand)
Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.

Thump—(Heavy, muffled knock noise)
Thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often brought on by activity.

Buzz—(Like a bumble bee)
Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.

Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary depending upon the person. A noise that you may
judge as acceptable may be very irritating to the customer.

Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.
