There is no stopper tab.
 Make sure that the oil holes on connecting rod and connecting rod bearing are aligned.
 Install the connecting rod in the dimension shown in the figure.
NOTE:
Install the connecting rod bearing in the center position with the dimension shown in the figure. For ser-
vice operation, the center position can be checked visually.
11. Install piston and connecting rod assembly to crankshaft.
 Position crankshaft pin corresponding to connecting rod to be installed onto the bottom dead center.

 Using the piston ring compressor (SST: EM03470000) (A) or
suitable tool, install piston with the front mark on the piston
head facing the front of the engine.
CAUTION:
 Be careful not to damage matching surface with con-
necting rod cap.
 Be careful not to damage the cylinder wall and crank-
shaft pin, resulting from an interference of the connect-
ing rod big end.

 Match the stamped cylinder number marks (C) on connecting
rod with those on connecting rod cap to install.
13. Inspect outer diameter of connecting rod cap bolts. Refer to EM-108, "
Inspection".

a. Apply new engine oil to the threads and seats of connecting rod bolts.
b. Tighten connecting rod bolts in several steps.
c. Then turn all bolts 60 degrees clockwise (angle tightening).
CAUTION:
Confirm the tightening angle by using the angle wrench
[SST: KV10112100] (A) or protractor. Avoid judgment by
visual inspection without the tool.
 After tightening connecting rod bolts, make sure that crankshaft rotates smoothly.
 Check the connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-108, "
Inspection".
15. Install oil pan (upper). Refer to EM-96, "
Exploded View".

Measure the outer diameter of piston pin with a micrometer.
Connecting Rod Small End Clearance
(Connecting rod small end clearance) = (Connecting rod small end inner diameter) – (Piston pin outer diame-
ter)
 If the measured value is out of the standard, replace connecting rod assembly and/or piston and piston pin
assembly.
 If replacing connecting rod assembly, use "CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" to select con-
necting rod bearing.
CYLINDER BLOCK TOP SURFACE DISTORTION
 Using a scraper, remove gasket on the cylinder block surface, and also remove engine oil, scale, carbon, or
other contamination.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow gasket flakes to enter engine oil or engine coolant passages.
 Measure the distortion on the cylinder block upper face at some
different points in six directions with a straight edge and a feeler
gauge.
 If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder block.
MAIN BEARING HOUSING INNER DIAMETER
 Install main bearing cap without main bearings installed, and tighten main bearing cap bolts to the specified
torque. Refer to EM-101, "
Disassembly and Assembly".
 Measure the position shown in the figure [5 mm (0.196 in) rear-
ward from main bearing housing front side end surface) in the 2
directions as shown in the figure. The smaller one is the measured
value.
 If out of the standard, replace cylinder block and main bearing
caps as an assembly.
NOTE:
These components cannot be replaced as a single unit, because they were processed together.

HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING
When New Cylinder Block and Crankshaft Are Used
1. “Main Bearing Selection Table” rows correspond to main bearing
housing grade on left side of cylinder block.
 If there is a corrected stamp mark (B) on cylinder block, use it
as a correct reference.
2. Apply main journal diameter grade stamped on crankshaft front
side to column in the “Main Bearing Selection Table”.
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of selected row and column in the “Main Bearing Selection Table”.
4. Apply the symbol obtained to the “Main Bearing Grade Table” to select main bearing.
NOTE:
Service part is available as a set of both upper and lower.
When Cylinder Block and Crankshaft Are Reused
1. Measure the dimensions of the cylinder block main bearing housing inner diameter and crankshaft main
journal diameter individually. Refer to EM-108, "
Inspection".
2. Apply the measured dimension to the “Main Bearing Selection Table”.
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of selected row and column in the “Main Bearing Selection Table”.
4. Apply the symbol obtained to the “Main Bearing Grade Table” to select main bearing. Bearing undersize table:
