INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• 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, "FOR USA AND CANADA : 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. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner dr ops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leak age of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec- ified level, if necessary.

6. Drain the engine of all coolant and oil.
7. Remove the oil pan. Refer to EM-157, "Removal and Installation (Upper Oil Pan)"
.
8. Remove the timing chain primary and secondary. Refer to EM-182, "Removal and Installation"
.
9. Remove the cylinder head. Refer to EM-207, "Removal and Installation"
.
10. Cut away liquid gasket and remove rear oil seal retainer using Tool. Refer to EM-124, "Precaution for Liquid Gasket"
.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage mounting surface.
• If rear oil seal retainer is removed, replace it with a new one.
NOTE:
Rear oil seal and retainer form a single part and are handled as
an assembly.
11. Remove the piston and connecting rod assemblies.
a. Position the crankshaft pin corresponding to the connecting rod to be removed onto the bottom dead center.
b. Remove the connecting rod cap.
c. Using a hammer handle or similar tool, push the piston and con- necting rod assembly out to the cylinder head side.
• Before removing the piston and connecting rod assembly, check the connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-234,
"Inspection".
12. Remove the connecting rod bearings. CAUTION:
• When removing the connecting rod side bearings, note the installation position. Keep them in
the correct order.
13. Remove the piston rings from the piston. • Use a piston ring expander.
CAUTION:
• When removing the piston rings, be careful not to damage the piston. Do not exp and the rings excessively.
• Be careful to mark the rings if they are to be reused so
they are installed in their original position.
• Before removing the piston rings, check the piston ring side clear- ance. Refer to EM-234, "Inspection"
.
14. Remove the piston from the connecting rod as follows.
a. Using a snap ring pliers, remove the snap ring. CAUTION:
Do not reuse snap rings. Tool number : KV10111100 (J-37228)

c. Install the snap ring into the front of the piston pin-groove.
• After installing, check that the connecting rod pivots smoothlyon the pin.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse snap rings.
11. Using a piston ring expander, install the piston rings. CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage the piston.
• When the piston rings are not replaced, remount the rings
in their original positions.
• When replacing the piston ri ngs, those without stamped
surface (A) can be mounted either side up.
• Install the second ring with the stamped surface (B) facing upward. If the ring is not stamped it can face in either
direction.
• Position each ring with the gap as shown, referring to the pis- ton front mark.
12. Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod and the connecting rod cap.
• When installing the connecting rod bearings, apply engine oil to the bearing surface (crankshaft side). Do not apply oil to the
back surface (connecting rod and cap side), but thoroughly
clean it.
• When installing, align the connecting rod bearing protrusion
with the notch of the connecting rod to install.
• Check that the oil holes on the connecting rod and on the cor- responding bearing are aligned.

13. Install the piston and connecting rod assembly into the corre-
sponding cylinder.
• Position the crankshaft pin corresponding to the connecting
rod to be installed onto the bottom dead center.
• Apply engine oil sufficiently to the cylinder bore, piston, and crankshaft pin.
• Match the cylinder position wit h the cylinder No. (B) on the
connecting rod to install.
• Install the piston with the piston front mark (A) on the crown
facing the front of the engine ( ), using a suitable tool.
- Oil hole (C)
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the crankshaft pin and cyl inder wall, resulting from an interference of the
connecting rod big end.
14. Install the connecting rod cap. • Match the stamped cylinder number marks on the connectingrod with those on the cylinder cap for installation.
• Install the piston connecting rod assembly and cap so that the front mark on the cap and piston are facing the front of the
engine.
• Lubricate the threads and seat surfaces with new engine
oil.
15. Check the connecting rod cap bolts before reusing, then install
in their original position in the connecting rod. The bolts should
screw in smoothly by hand.
• Measure the outer diameter of the connecting rod cap bolts as
shown.
16. Tighten the connecting rod cap bolts in two stages using Tool: CAUTION:
Always use either an angle wr ench or protractor. Avoid
tightening based on visual check alone.
• Apply engine oil to the threads and seats of the connecting rod cap bolts.
• After tightening the connecting rod cap bolts, make sure that the crankshaft rotates smoothly.
• Check the connecting rod side clearance. If beyond t he limit, replace the connecting rod and/or crank-
shaft.
