4) Features
Reduced vibration noise from the powertrain by blocking the torsional vibrations
Enhanced vehicle silence and riding comforts: reduced engine torque fluctuation
Reduced shifting shocks
Smooth acceleration and deceleration -

5) Advantages
Improved torque response by using 3-stage type spring: Strengthens the torque response in all
ranges (low, medium, and high speed) by applying respective spring constant at each range.
Stable revolution of the primary and secondary wheel by using planetary gear: Works as auxiliary
damper against spring changes
Less heat generation due to no direct friction against spring surface: Plastic material is covered on
the spring outer surface
Increased durability by using plastic bushing (extends the lifetime of grease) -

6) Drive Plate
Drive plate receives the power from the start motor when starting the engine. With this, the drive plate
initially drives the power train system. And, it is connected to the torque converter to transfer the engine
torque to the power train system.

1) Piston
(1) Overview
Piston assembly contains piston, #1 ring, #2
ring, oil ring, piston pin and snap ring. The
expansion energy from engine is transferred to
the crankshaft through connecting rod to convert
the linear movement to rotating energy.

(3) Functions
Piston transfers the combustion energy from engine to connecting rod. Especially in the direct injection
engine such as D20DTF, it provides the combustion space and largely effects to the engine performance
and exhaust gas.
Piston ring
#1 ring (Top ring) : Prevents the high pressurized combustion gas from leaking into crank chamber,
and prevents the engine oil getting into combustion chamber.
#2 ring: Scrapes the engine oil on the cylinder bore, and prevents the leaked combustion gas from #1
ring from leaking into the crank chamber.
Oil ring: Scrapes the engine oil on the cylinder bore.
Piston pin
Connects the piston the connecting rod, and transfers the linear movement of piston to connecting rod
to convert it to rotating energy
Snap pin
Locks the piston pin.

2) Connecting Rod
(1) Overview
Connecting rod converts the reciprocating movement of piston to the rotating movement of crankshaft.
The big end is connected to connecting rod bearing and the crank pin journal, and the small end is
connected to the piston pin.

(3) Selection of crankshaft pin journal bearing
The connecting rod bearing contains 3 sets of 3 grades in upper and lower sections.
Three sets in the table below have nearly same oil clearance (0.015~0.063 mm) of bearing.
