 Check the valve spring pressure at specified spring height.
 If the installation load or load with valve open is out of the stan-
dard, replace valve spring.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leakage
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.
 Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
 Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
- Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-
age at connection points.
- Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
 Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
 Warm up engine thoroughly to check there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
 Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
 After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.
Summary of the inspection items:
*: Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

arm (outside).
 Install thrust bearing with a projection on one end on cylinder block, and thrust bearing with a projection
at center on main bearing cap. Align each projection with mating notch.
c. Install main bearings paying attention to the direction.
 Main bearing with oil hole (B) and groove (C) goes on cylinder
block. The one without them goes on main bearing cap.
 Before installing main bearings, apply engine oil to the bearing
surface (inside). Do not apply engine oil to the back surface,
but thoroughly clean it.
 When installing, align main bearing stopper protrusion to cut-
out of cylinder block and main bearing caps.
 Ensure the oil holes on cylinder block and those on the corresponding bearing are aligned.
5. Install crankshaft to cylinder block.
 While turning crankshaft by hand, check that it turns smoothly.
6. Install main bearing caps.
 Main bearing caps are identified by identification mark cast on
them. For installation, face front mark (E) to front side.
NOTE:
Main bearing cap cannot be replaced as a single part, because it
is machined together with cylinder block.
7. Install main bearing beam.
 Install main bearing beam with front mark facing downward (oil pan side).
 Install main bearing beam with front mark facing front of the
engine.

8. Install main bearing cap bolts in numerical order as shown in the
figure as follows:
a. Inspect the outer diameter of main bearing cap bolt. Refer to
EM-119, "
Inspection".
b. Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of main bear-
ing cap bolts.
c. Tighten main bearing cap bolts in several different steps.
d. Turn all main bearing cap bolts 90 degrees clockwise (angle tightening).
CAUTION:
Use the angle wrench [SST: KV10112100 (BT8653-A)] to
check tightening angle. Never make judgment by visual
inspection.
 After installing main bearing cap bolts, check that crankshaft
can be rotated smoothly by hand.
 Check the crankshaft end play. Refer to EM-119, "
Inspection".
9. Install piston to connecting rod as follows:
a. Using snap ring pliers, install new snap ring to the groove of piston rear side.

b. Install piston to connecting rod.
 Using an industrial drier or similar tool, heat piston until piston pin can be pushed in by hand without
excess force [approximately 60 to 70°C (140 to 158°F)]. From the front to the rear, insert piston pin into
piston and connecting rod.
 Assemble so that the front mark on the piston crown and the
cylinder number on connecting rod are positioned as shown in
the figure.
c. Install new snap ring to the groove of the piston front side.

11. Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and connecting rod bearing cap.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop connecting rod bearing, and to scratch the surface.
 Before installing connecting rod bearings, apply engine oil to the bearing surface (inside). Do not apply
engine oil to the back surface, but thoroughly clean it.
 When installing, align connecting rod bearing stopper protru-
sion (B) with cutout (C) of connecting rod and connecting rod
bearing cap to install.
 Ensure the oil hole (A) on connecting rod and that on the cor-
responding bearing are aligned.
12. Install piston and connecting rod assembly to crankshaft.
 Position crankshaft pin corresponding to connecting rod to be installed onto the bottom dead center.
 Apply engine oil sufficiently to the cylinder bore, piston and crankshaft pin journal.
 Match the cylinder position with the cylinder number on connecting rod to install.
 Be sure that front mark on piston crown is facing front of engine.
 Using a piston ring compressor [SST: EM03470000 (J8037)]
(A) or suitable tool, install piston with the front mark on the pis-
ton crown facing the front of the engine.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the cylinder wall and crankshaft
pin, resulting from an interference of the connecting rod big
end.Stamped mark: VQ25DE VQ35DE
