of engine.
17) Installing piston pin:

sertion, and then insert it into the service hole to
align piston pin hole with connecting rod small
end.
ST3 18253AA000 PISTON GUIDE
(2) Apply a coat of engine oil to piston pin, and
insert the piston pin into piston and connecting
rod through service hole.
(3) Using the ST4, install the snap ring.

(4) Similarly install the #1, #2, #5 and #6 pis-
tons.
18) Install the service hole plug and O-ring.
NOTE:
Use new O-rings.
19) Apply liquid gasket to the mating surface of oil
pan upper.
Liquid gasket:
THREE BOND 1280B (Part No. K0877YA018)
Applying liquid gasket diameter:
Full line part
3.0±1.0 mm (0.12±0.04 in)
Broken line part
1.0 mm (0.04 in)
NOTE:
Use new O-rings.

E: INSPECTION
1. ARMATURE
1) Check the commutator for any sign of burns of
rough surfaces or stepped wear. If it has minor
wear, correct it by using sand paper (#300).
2) Run-out test
Check the commutator for run-out, and then re-
place if it exceeds the limit.
Commutator run-out:
Standard
3.1 mm (0.1220 in)
Service limit
Less than 3.8 mm (0.1496 in)
3) Armature short-circuit test
Check the armature for short circuit by placing it on
growler tester. Hold an iron sheet (thickness
gauge, etc. ) against the armature core while slowly
rotating the armature. A short-circuited armature
will cause the iron sheet to vibrate and to be attract-
ed to core. If the iron sheet is attracted or vibrates,
the armature, which is short-circuited, must be re-
placed or repaired.
4) Armature discontinuity test
Using a circuit tester, touch one probe to the Arma-
ture and the other to commutator. No continuity is
normal. If there is continuity, the armature is
grounded.
Replace the armature if it is grounded.
2. OVERRUNNING CLUTCH
Inspect the teeth of pinion for wear and damage.
Replace if it is damaged. Rotate the pinion in the
right direction of rotation (counterclockwise). It
should rotate smoothly. But in the opposite direc-
tion, it should be locked.
CAUTION:
Do not clean the overrunning clutch with oil to
prevent grease from flowing out.
3. BRUSH AND BRUSH HOLDER
1) Brush length
Measure the brush length, and then replace if it ex-
ceeds the service limit.
Replace if abnormal wear or cracks are noticed.
Brush length:
Standard
9.0 mm (0.354 in)
Service limit
6.0 mm (0.236 in)

6. SHOCK ABSORBER BEARING CLEAR-
ANCE
Measure the outside (A) diameter of sliding part for
shaft shock absorber bearing.
Then, measure the inside (B) diameter of shock ab-
sorber bearing, and calculate the clearance.
If it exceeds the service limit, replace the oilless
bearing or shaft.
Shock absorber bearing sliding part:
Standard
18 mm (0.709 in)
Clearance:
Standard
0.03 — 0.061 mm (0.001 — 0.0024 in)
Service limit
0.1 mm (0.003 in)
7. REAR BEARING
Check the rear bearing, and replace the rear bear-
ing if there are damage, lock or rust.
8. PLANETARY GEAR BUSHING
Measure the outer diameter (A) of pin which is
press-fitted into shaft.
Then, measure the inner diameter (B) of planetary
gear bushing, and calculate the clearance.
If it exceeds the service limit, replace the planetary
gear or shaft.
Clearance:
Standard
0.035 — 0.065 mm (0.001 — 0.0025 in)
Service limit
0.1 mm (0.003 in)
9. SWITCH ASSEMBLY OPERATION
NOTE:
Test period of each test must be within short time (3
— 5 seconds).
1) Vacuum test
Disconnect the harness from terminal M and con-
nect it as shown in the figure. Make sure the pinion
gear sticks out.

4. BRUSH
1) Measure the length of each brush. If wear ex-
ceeds the service limit, replace the brush. Each
brush has the service limit mark (A) on it.
Brush length:
Service limit (1)
5.0 mm (0.197 in)
Standard (2)
18.5 mm (0.728 in)
2) Checking brush spring for proper pressure
Using a spring pressure indicator, push the brush
into the brush holder until its tip protrudes 2 mm
(0.08 in). Then measure the pressure of brush
spring. If the pressure is less than 2.2 N (224 g, 7
91 oz), replace the brush spring with a new one.
The new spring must have a pressure of 4.8 to 6.0
N (489 to 612 g, 17.26 to 21.58 oz).
5. BEARING (FRONT SIDE)
Check the front ball bearing. If the resistance is felt
while rotating, or abnormal noise is heard, replace
the ball bearing
