 Before installing connecting rod bearings, apply engine oil to the bearing surface (inside). Do not applyengine oil to the back surface, but thoroughly clean it.
 When installing, align connecting rod bearing stopper protru-
sion (B) with cutout (A) of connecting rods and connecting rod
bearing caps to install.
 Ensure the oil hole (C) on connecting rod and that on the cor-
responding bearing are aligned.
13. 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 cyli nder number on connecting rod to install.
 Be sure that front mark on piston cr own is facing the front of the engine.
 Using a piston ring compressor [SST: EM03470000 (J-8037)]
(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 interf erence of the connecting rod big
end.
14. Install connecting rod bearing cap.  Match the stamped cylinder number marks on connecting rodwith those on connecting rod bearing cap to install.
 Be sure that front mark (H) on connecting rod bearing cap is facing the front of the engine.
15. Tighten connecting rod bolts as per the following:
a. Inspect the outer diameter of connecting rod bolt. Refer to EM-115, "
Inspection".
b. Apply engine oil to the threads and seats of connecting rod bolts.
