|
Press-in load : 150 - 750 kg (331 - 1653 lb)
|
|
Connecting Rod
| 1. |
Check the connecting rod end play.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the end play while moving the connecting
rod back and forth.
|
Standard end play :
0.10 - 0.25 mm (0.0039 - 0.0098 in)
|
| (1) |
If out-of-tolerance, install a new connecting rod.
|
| (2) |
If still out-of-tolerance, replace the crankshaft.
|
|
| 2. |
Check the connecting rod bearing oil clearance.
| (1) |
Check the match marks on the connecting rod and cap are aligned
to ensure correct reassembly.
|
| (2) |
Remove the 2 connecting rod cap bolts.
|
| (3) |
Remove the connecting rod cap and lower bearing.
|
| (4) |

|
Tightening torque :
11 - 15 N·m (1.1 - 1.5 kgf·m, 8.0 - 10.8 lb·ft) + 88
- 92°
|
|
• |
Do not turn the crankshaft.
|
|
• |
Always use new connecting rod cap bolts. Connecting
rod cap bolts are torque-to-yield bolts designed
to be permanently elongated beyond the state of
elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed
and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail
to maintain clamping force.
|
|
|
| (7) |
Remove the 2 bolts, connecting rod cap and lower bearing.
|
| (8) |
Measure the plastigage at its widest point.
|
Connecting rod bearing oil clearance :
0.018 - 0.036 mm (0.0007 - 0.0014 in)
Connecting rod bearing oil clearance Include big hole
expansion deformation :
0.027 - 0.052 mm (0.0011 - 0.0020 in)
|
|
| (9) |
If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow, remove the
upper and lower bearing and then install a new bearings with the
same color mark (Refer to connecting rod bearing selection table)
Recheck the oil clearance.
|
Do not file, shim, or scrape the bearings or the caps
to adjust clearance.
|
|
| (10) |
If the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect, try
the next lager or smaller bearing. (Refer to connecting rod bearing
selection table Recheck the oil clearance.
|
If the proper clearance cannot be obtained by using the
appropriate lager or smaller bearings, replace the crankshaft
and start over.
|
|
If the alignment marks are unreadable because of an accumulation
of grease or grime, don't clean with a wire or abrasive
cleaner. Clean only with correct cleaning solvent or detergent.

|
Piston-to-cylinder clearance :
0.02 - 0.04mm (0.0008 - 0.0016in)
|
|

the wall of the ring groove.
|
Piston ring groove width
No.1 : 1.035 - 1.05 mm (0.0407 - 0.0413 in)
No.2 : 1.23 - 1.25 mm (0.0484 - 0.0492 in)

Oil ring : 0.040 - 0.850 mm (0.0015 - 0.0335 in)
|
If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the piston.
|
| 3. |
Inspect piston ring end gap.
To measure the piston ring end gap, insert a piston ring into the cylinder
bore. Position the ring at right angles to the cylinder wall by gently pressing
it down with a piston. Measure the gap with a feeler gauge. If the gap exceeds
the service limit, replace the piston ring. If the gap is too large, recheck
the cylinder bore diameter against the wear limits. If the bore is over
the service limit, the cylinder block must be replaced.
|
Piston ring end gap
No.1 : 0.13 - 0.18 mm (0.0051 - 0.0335 in)
No.2 : 0.25 - 0.40 mm (0.0098 - 0.0157 in)
Oil ring : 0.10 - 0.40 mm (0.0039 - 0.0157 in)
|
|
Piston Pins
| 1. |
Measure the diameter of the piston pin.
|
Piston pin outer diameter :
18.000 - 18.003 mm (0.7086 - 0.7087 in)
Piston pin hole diameter :
18.013 - 18.017 mm (0.7092 - 0.7093 in)

Check the difference between the piston pin outer diameter and the connecting
rod small end inner diameter.
|
Piston pin-to-connecting rod interference :
0.015 - 0.029 mm (0.0006 - 0.0014 in)
|
|
| • |
Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
|
| • |
Before installing the parts, apply fresh engine oil to all sliding
and rotating surfaces.
|
| • |
Replace all gaskets, O-rings and oil seals with new parts.
|
|
| 1. |
Assemble the piston and connecting rod.
| (1) |
Use a hydraulic press for installation.
|
| (2) |
The piston front mark and the connecting rod front mark must
face the timing belt side of the engine.
|
|
| 2. |
Install the piston rings.
| (1) |
Install the oil ring expender and 2 side rails by hand.
|
| (2) |
Using a piston ring expender, install the 2 compression rings
with the code mark facing upward.
|
| (3) |
Position the piston rings so that the ring ends are as shown.
|
|
| 3. |
Install the connecting rod bearings.
| (1) |
Align the bearing claw with the groove of the connecting rod
and connecting rod cap.
|
| (2) |
Install the bearings (A) in the connecting rod and connecting
rod cap (B).
|
|
| 4. |
Install the piston and connecting rod assemblies.
| •
|
Before installing the pistons, apply a coat of engine
oil to the ring grooves and cylinder bores.
|
| •
|
The piston front mark (A) and the connecting rod front
mark (B) must face the timing chain side of the engine.
|
|
| (1) |
Install the ring compressor, check that the bearing is securely
in place, then position the piston in the cylinder, and tap it in
using the wooden handle of a hammer.
|
| (2) |
Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and check the connecting
rod to check journal alignment before pushing the piston into place.
|
| (3) |
Apply engine oil to the bolt threads. Install the rod caps with
bearings, and tighten the bolts.
|
Tightening torque :
11 - 15 N·m (1.1 - 1.5 kgf·m, 8.0 - 10.8 lb·ft) + 88
- 92°
|
|
• |
Always use new connecting rod cap bolts. Connecting
rod cap bolts are torque-to-yield bolts designed
to be permanently elongated beyond the state of
elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed
and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail
to maintain clamping force.
|
|
• |
Maintain downward force on the ring compressor
to prevent the rings from expending before entering
the cylinder bore.
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
Check the connecting rod end play.
|
| 6. |
Assemble the other parts in the reverse order of disassembly.
