1. Fully air-blow the coolant and oil passages in the cylinder block, cylinder bore, and crankcase to removeany foreign material.
CAUTION:
Use goggles to protect your eyes.
2. Install each plug to the cylinder block (only screw-type plugs are shown).
• Apply liquid gasket. Use Genuine Thread Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-15,
"Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
• Replace copper washers with new ones.
• Tighten each plug as specified below.
3. Install main bearings and thrust bearings.
a. Remove any dust, dirt, and oil on the bearing mating surfaces of the cylinder block and main bearing caps.
b. Install thrust bearings to both sides of the No. 3 journal housing on the cylinder block and main bearing caps
• Install thrust bearings with the oil groove facing the crankshaft
arm (outside).
• Install thrust bearings with a protrusion in the center on the
main bearing caps.
c. Install main bearings paying attention to the direction. • Install the one with oil holes onto the cylinder block and theone without oil holes onto the main bearing cap.
• Before installing bearings, apply engine oil to bearing surface
(inside). Do not apply oil to the back surface, but thoroughly
clean it.
• When installing, align the bearing stopper to the notch.
• Ensure the oil holes on the cylinder block and those on the
corresponding bearing are aligned.
4. Install pilot converter to the crankshaft using suitable tool.
5. Install crankshaft to the cylinder block. • While turning crankshaft by hand, make sure it turns smoothly.

12. Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod and
connecting rod cap.
• When installing the connecting rod bearings, apply engine oilto 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, resu lting from an interference of the connecting rod
big end.
14. Install connecting rod cap. • Match the stamped cylinder number marks on the connectingrod 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 rotatessmoothly.
• Check connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-90,
"Inspection After Disassembly".

If knock sensor is dropped, replace it with a new one.
• Make sure that there is no foreign material on the cylinderblock 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 eachpart to install.

• Measure diameter of piston pin using suitable tool.
Connecting Rod Bushing Oil Clearance (Small End)
(Connecting rod small end oil clearance) = (Inside diameter of con-
necting rod small end) – (Piston pin diameter)
• If measured value exceeds the standard, replace the connectingrod assembly and/or piston and piston pin assembly.
• If replacing the piston and piston pin assembly, use the Table for
Selective Fitting for Piston to select the piston corresponding to the
applicable bore grade of the cylinder block to be used. Refer to
EM-101, "
How to Select Piston and Bearing".
Factory installed parts grading:
• Only grade 0 is available.
Unit: mm (in)
CYLINDER BLOCK DISTORTION
• Remove any oil, scale, gasket, sealant and carbon deposits from the cylinder block surface.
CAUTION:
Do not allow any debris to en ter the oil or coolant passages.
• Measure block upper face for distortion in six directions as shown.
• If measurement exceeds the limit, replace cylinder block.

• Install the main bearing caps with the main bearings removed, and
tighten the bolts to the specified torque. Refer to EM-82, "
Disas-
sembly and Assembly".
• Measure inside diameter of main bearing housing.
• If out of the standard, replace cylinder block and main bearing caps as an assembly.
NOTE:
These components must be replaced as a single unit, because
they were processed together.
PISTON TO CYLINDER BORE CLEARANCE
Cylinder Bore Diameter
• Measure the cylinder bore for wear, out-of-round and taper at six
different points on each cylinder ( ″X″ and ″Y″ directions at ″A″ , ″B″
and ″C ″).
NOTE:
When determining cylinder bore grade, measure cylinder bore at
"B" position.
• If measured value exceeds the repair limit, or if ther e are scratches and/or seizure on the cylinder inner wall,
hone or bore the inner wall.
