COMBINATION METER ILLUMINATION CONTROL
Daytime Mode
When ignition switch is turned ON, combination meter illumination is turned ON by unified meter control unit.
Nighttime Mode
Unified meter control unit is transferred to nighttime mode, with ignition switch turned ON and position
light request signal from BCM with CAN communication.
When nighttime mode, illumination control switch illumination
turns ON by unified meter control unit. Each illumination is con-
trolled by unified meter control unit.
Each illumination can be adjusted to 16 step by illumination con-
trol switch in nighttime mode.
NOTE:

Main bearing caps are identified by identification mark cast on
them. For installation, face front mark to front side.
NOTE:
Main bearing cap cannot be replaced as a single part, because it
is machined together with cylinder block.
7. Install main bearing beam.
Install main bearing beam with front mark facing downward (oil pan side).
Install main bearing beam with front mark facing front of the
engine.
8. Install main bearing cap bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure as follows:
a. Inspect the outer diameter of main bearing cap bolt. Refer to EM-149, "
MAIN BEARING CAP BOLT OUTER DIAMETER" .
b. Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of main bear- ing cap bolts.
c. Tighten main bearing cap bolts in several different steps.
d. Turn all main bearing cap bolts 90 degrees clockwise (Angle tightening).
CAUTION:
Use the angle wrench [SST: KV10112100 (BT8653-A)] to
check tightening angle. Do not make judgment by visual
inspection.
After installing main bearing cap bolts, make sure that crank-
shaft can be rotated smoothly by hand.
Check the crankshaft end play. Refer to EM-141, "CRANK-
SHAFT END PLAY" .
9. Install piston to connecting rod as follows:
a. Using a snap ring pliers, install new snap ring to the groove of piston rear side.
Insert it fully into groove to install.
b. Install piston to connecting rod.
Using an industrial use drier or similar tool, heat piston until piston pin can be pushed in by hand without
excess force [approx. 60 to 70 °C (140 to 158 °F)]. From the front to the rear, insert piston pin into piston
and connecting rod.

Piston Skirt Diameter
Measure the outer diameter of piston skirt with a micrometer.
Piston-to-Cylinder Bore Clearance
Calculate by piston skirt diameter and cylinder bore inner diameter (direction “Y”, position “B”).
(Clearance) = (Cylinder bore inner diameter) – (Piston skirt diameter).
If the calculated value exceeds the limit, replace piston and piston pin assembly. Refer to EM-136, "HOW
TO SELECT PISTON" .
Re-boring Cylinder Bore
1. Cylinder bore size is determined by adding piston to cylinder bore clearance to piston skirt diameter.
2. Install main bearing caps and main bearing beam, and tighten to the specified torque. Otherwise, cylinder bores may be distorted in final assembly.
3. Cut cylinder bores. NOTE:
When any cylinder needs boring, all other cylinders must also be bored.
Do not cut too much out of cylinder bore at a time. Cut only 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or so in diameter at a
time.
4. Hone cylinders to obtain the specified piston to cylinder bore clearance.
5. Measure finished cylinder bore for the out-of-round and taper. NOTE:
Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
CRANKSHAFT MAIN JOURNAL DIAMETER
Measure the outer diameter of crankshaft main journals with a micrometer.
If out of the standard, measure the main bearing oil clearance. Then use undersize bearing. Refer to EM-
148, "MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" .
