c. Then tighten all connecting rod nuts 60 degrees clockwise.
(Angle tightening)
CAUTION:
Use angle wrench (SST) to ch eck 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-256,
"Inspection After Disassembly".
16. Install knock sensor.  Install it with its connector facing the rear of engine.
 Install the sub-harness with its shorter branch line to the rightbank.
CAUTION:
 Do not tighten mounting bolts while holding connector.
 If any impact by dropping is applied to knock sensor, replace it with new one.
NOTE:
 Make sure that there is no foreign material on the cylinder block mating surface and the bac k surface of knock sensor.
 Make sure that knock sensor does not interfere with other parts.
17. Note the following, and assemble in the re verse order of disassembly after this step.
Drive plate When installing drive plate to crankshaft, be sure to correctly
align crankshaft side guide pin and drive plate side guide pin
hole.
- If these are not aligned correctly, engine runs roughly and
“MIL” turns on.
 Install drive plate, reinforcement plate and pilot converter (if not installed in step 4) as shown in the figure.
 Face chamfered or rounded edge side to crankshaft.
 Holding ring gear with ring gear stopper [SST: J-45476].
 Tighten mounting bolts crosswise over several times.
 When install pilot converter, using drift [outer diameter: approx. 35 mm (1.38 in)]. Press-fit as far as it will go.
CAUTION:
Make sure that guide pin is installed at the rear end of
crankshaft.

 If replacing connecting rod assembly, refer to "CONNECTING
ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE" to select the connecting rod
bearing.

CYLINDER BLOCK DISTORTION
 Using scraper, remove gasket on the cylinder block surface, and also remove engine oil, scale, carbon, orother contamination.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow gasket flakes to en ter engine oil or engine coolant passages.
 Measure the distortion on the cylinder block upper face at some different points in six directions with straightedge and feeler gauge.
 If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder block.
MAIN BEARING HOUSING INNER DIAMETER
 Install main bearing caps and main bearing without installing main bearings, and tighten main bearing cap bolts to the specified
torque. Refer to EM-242, "
Disassembly and Assembly" for the
tightening procedure.
 Measure the inner diameter of main bearing housing with bore gauge.
 If out of the standard, replace cylinder block and main bearing caps as assembly.
NOTE:
Cylinder block cannot be replaced as a single part, because it is
machined together with main bearing caps.

 Tighten main muffler mounting bracket bolts in numerical order as
shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
 Always replace exhaust tube gasket s with new ones when reassembling.
 If heat insulator is badly deformed, repair or repl ace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the heat
insulator, remove them.
 When installing heat insulator avoid large gaps or interference between heat insulator and each
exhaust pipe.
 Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid
gases leakage.
 Temporarily tighten mounting nuts on the exhaust manifold side and mounting bolts on the vehicle
side. Check each part for unusual interference, an d then tighten them to the specified torque.
 When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/left
directions.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
 Make sure clearance between tail tube and bumper is even.
 With engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.
 Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mount ing rubbers are installed properly and free from undue
stress. Improper installation could resu lt in excessive noise and vibration.
