12. Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod and
connecting rod cap.
• When installing the connecting rod bearings, apply engine oil
to the bearing surface (inside). Do not apply oil to the back
surface, but thoroughly clean it.
• When installing, align the connecting rod bearing stopper pro-
trusion with the cutout of the connecting rod to install.
• Check that the oil holes on the connecting rod and those on
the corresponding bearing are aligned.
13. Install the piston and connecting rod assembly to the crankshaft
using Tool.
• Position the crankshaft pin corresponding to the connecting
rod to be installed onto bottom dead center.
• Apply engine oil sufficiently to the cylinder bore, piston, and
crankshaft pin.
• Match the cylinder position with the cylinder No. on the con-
necting rod to install.
• Install the piston with the front mark on the piston crown facing
the front of the engine.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the crankshaft pin, resulting from an interference of the connecting rod
big end.
14. Install connecting rod cap.
• Match the stamped cylinder number marks on the connecting
rod with those on the cylinder cap to install.
15. Tighten connecting rod bolts using Tool.
• Apply engine oil to threads and seats of connecting rod bolts.
• After tightening bolts, make sure the crankshaft rotates
smoothly.
• Check connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-93,
"Inspection After Disassembly".

16. Install knock sensors.
CAUTION:
If knock sensor is dropped, replace it with a new one.
• Make sure that there is no foreign material on the cylinder
block mating surface and the back surface of knock sensor.
• Install it with its connector facing the center of the cylinder
block side.
• Do not tighten knock sensor bolts while holding connector.
• Make sure knock sensor does not interfere with other parts.
• Position the sub-harness as shown before installing intake
manifold.
17. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
18. Remove engine assembly from engine stand.
19. Install drive plate.
• Align dowel pin of crankshaft rear end with pin holes of each
part to install.
• Install drive plate, reinforcement plate and pilot converter (if
not installed in step 4) as shown.
• Face the chamfered or rounded edge side to the crankshaft.

*For the service parts, the grade for fitting cannot be selected between a piston pin and a connecting rod.
(Only 0 grade is available.) 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
Piston Selective Fitting When New Cylinder Block is Used:
• Check the cylinder bore grade on the bottom face of the cylinder
block, and select the piston of the same grade.
When Cylinder Block is Reused
1. Measure cylinder block bore diameter.
2. Determine the bore grade by comparing the measurement with the values under the “Cylinder bore diam-
eter” of the piston selection table.

NOTE:
• The piston is available together with piston pin as an assembly.
• The piston pin (piston pin bore) grade is provided only for the parts installed at the plant. For service parts,
grades can be selected.
• Hone the cylinder to obtain specified clearance between the piston and cylinder bore.
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING
When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are Used
1. Apply the big end inside diameter grade stamped on the con-
necting rod side face to the row in the “Connecting Rod Bearing
Selection Table”.
2. Apply the pin diameter grade stamped on the crankshaft front
side to the column in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection
Table”.
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of the selected row and col-
umn in the “Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table”.
4. Apply the symbol obtained to the "Connecting Rod Bearing
Grade Table" to select.
When Crankshaft and Connecting Rod are Reused
1. Measure dimensions of the big end inside diameter of the connecting rod and diameter of the crankshaft
pin individually.
2. Apply the measured dimension to the "Connecting Rod Bearing Selection Table".
3. The following steps are the same as in “When New Connecting Rod and Crankshaft are Used”.
Grade number (Mark) 1 2 3
Cylinder bore diameter 98.000-98.010 (3.8583-3.8587) 98.010-98.020 (3.8587-3.8590) 93.020-98.030 (3.8590-3.8594)
Piston diameter 97.980-97.990 (3.8575-3.8579) 97.990-98.000 (3.8579-3.8583) 98.000-98.010 (3.8583-3.8587)

Undersize Bearings Usage Guide
• When the specified oil clearance is not obtained with standard size connecting rod bearings, use undersize
(US) bearings.
• When using undersize bearing, measure the bearing inside diameter with the bearing installed, and grind the
crankshaft pin so that the oil clearance satisfies the standard.

CAUTION:
In grinding the crankshaft pin to use undersize bearings, keep
the fillet R (All crankshaft pins).
HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING
When New Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Used
1. Apply the main bearing housing grade on the bottom face of the
cylinder block to the row in "Main Bearings Selection Table".

2. Apply the journal diameter grade on the crankshaft front to the
column in "Main Bearings Selection Table".
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of the selected row and column in the "Main Bearings Selection Table".
CAUTION:
• Initial clearance for No. 1, 5 journal and No. 2, 3, 4 journal is different. Use two different selection
lists for each part.
• No. 1, 5 journal and No. 2, 3, 4 journal have the same signs but different measures. Do not con-
fuse them.
4. Apply the symbol to the "Main Bearings Grade Table" to select.
NOTE:
• Grade list applies to all journals.
• Service parts are available as a set of both upper and lower.
When Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Reused
1. Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder block main bearings housing and the outside diameter of the
crankshaft journal.
2. Apply measurement in above step 1 to "Main Bearings Selection Table".
3. The following steps are same as in “When New Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Used”.
