4.5 Pistons, Pins, Rings, Connecting Rods
and Big-end Bearings
Remove
1 Remove the engine assembly, refer to 4.1 Engine .
2 Remove both cylinder head assemblies, refer to 3.22 Cylinder Head Assembly.
3 Remove the oil pan assembly, refer to 4.2 Oil Pan and Oil Pump Suction Pipe Assembly .
4 Mark the top of the piston being remo ved to identify its specific bore.
5 Install Tool No. EN-46111 (1) onto the crankshaft (2).
6 Rotate the crankshaft until the piston being removed is at the bottom of its stroke; bottom dead centre
(BDC).


Figure 6A1 – 464
CAUTION
If the connecting rod bearings have been
used in a running engine, they must be
replaced with new connecting rod bearings
for reassembly.
7 Before removing the connecting rods, check the connec ting rod side clearance using the following procedure:
a Tap the connecting rod to one end of the cranks haft journal with a dead blow or wooden hammer.
b Using feeler gauges, measure the clearance between the crankshaft counterweight and the connecting rod.
c The connecting rod side clearance should not exceed specifications, refer to 5 Specifications.
d If the endplay exceeds the specified limits, measure the width of the crankpin end of the connecting rod, refer
to 5 Specifications .
e If the connecting rod width is significantly smaller than specified and severe wear is present on the side of the
connecting rod, replac e the connecting rod.
f If the connecting rod width is within specification and excessive scoring is present on the crankshaft journals,
replace the crankshaft.
CAUTION
Do not use a stamp, punch or any other
method that may distort or stress the
connecting rod and cap. Extensive engine
damage may result from a connecting rod that
is distorted or stressed.
8 Mark the cylinder number on the connec ting rod and the connecting rod cap with a paint stick or permanent marker.

3 Slide the piston pin (1) out of the piston (2). The
piston will disconnect from the connecting rod.

Clean and Inspect
Piston Cleaning Procedure
CAUTION
Do not use a wire brush to clean any part of
the piston.
1 Clean the piston skirts and the pi ns with a suitable solvent.
2 Clean the piston ring grooves with a groove cleaner . Ensure the oil ring holes and slots are clean.

Safety glasses must be worn when using
compressed air.
3 Dry the piston with compressed air.
Piston Inspection Procedure
1 Inspect the pistons for the following conditions: • eroded areas at the top of the piston (1),
• piston pin retainer grooves for burrs (2),
• worn piston pin bores or worn piston pins (3),
• scuffed or damaged skirt coating (4),
• ring grooves for cracks, nicks or burrs that may
cause binding (5), and
• warped or worn ring lands.
2 Replace pistons that s how any signs of damage or
excessive wear.

Reassemble
Piston and Piston Pin
CAUTION
The arrow located on top of the piston must
point toward the front of the engine.
NOTE
The connecting rod is non-directional and may
be assembled/reassembled to the piston in
either direction.
1 Lubricate the piston pin (1) bores in the piston (2) and
the connecting rod with clean engine oil.
2 Assemble the piston and piston pin to the connecting rod. Correctly orient the piston when reusing a
marked connecting rod.
3 Align the piston pin bore with the connecting rod pin
bore.
4 Slide the piston pin into the piston and the connecting
rod.

Figure 6A1 – 485
CAUTION
New piston pin retainers must be used.
Never reuse the piston pin retainers.
5 Install new piston pin retainers (1).
6 Ensure the piston pin retainers are fully seated in their grooves.
7 Repeat steps 1 to 6 for the remaining pistons.

Piston Ring
NOTE
The ends of the expander must be facing
toward the top of the piston.
1 Correctly orient the oil control ring expander (1) before installation.

Figure 6A1 – 487
2 Using a piston ring expander, install the oil control
ring assembly using the following procedure:
3 Install the expander ring (3).
4 Install the two oil scraper rings (4). Expand the rings only enough to clear the piston diameter. Over-
expanding the piston rings w ill distort or crack the
rings.
5 Install the second (2) and top (1) piston rings as follows.

Figure 6A1 – 488
6 Using the ring expander (1), install the second piston
ring (2) onto the piston (3). Do not over-expand the
ring. Repeat for the top ring.

7 Once the rings are installed, set the ring gaps for the
oil control, second and top ring as follows. Use the
piston location arrow for reference.
• Lower oil control ring position (1).
• Upper oil control ring position (2).
• Top ring position (3).
• Oil control ring ex pander position (4).
• Second ring position (5).

Connecting Rod Bearing
CAUTION
If the connecting rod bearings have been
used in a running engine, they must be
replaced with new connecting rod bearings
for reassembly.
1 Clean the connecting rod (2) and the connecting rod
cap bearing bore with a lint-free cloth.
2 Clean the oil from behind the connecting rod bearing halves.
3 Install a new upper connecting rod bearing (1) into position. Roll the bearing into position so the lock tang
engages the alignment slot. The bearing must fit flush
in the connecting rod.

Figure 6A1 – 491
4 Install the lower connecting rod bearing (1) into position in the connecting rod cap (2).
5 Roll the bearing into position so the lock tang engages the alignment slot. The bearing must fit flush
with the connecting rod cap.
