CYLINDER BLOCK

• Only main bearing (on cylinder block) for No. 3 journal (2) has

different specifications.

• Before installing main bearings, apply new engine oil to the

bearing surface (inside). Do not apply engine oil to the back

surface, but thoroughly clean it.

• When installing, align main bearing stopper (B) to the notch.

• Ensure the oil holes (A) on cylinder block and those on the

corresponding bearing are aligned.

5. Install signal plate to crankshaft (if removed).
a. Set the signal plate with flange facing toward the counterweight side (engine front side).
b. After positioning crankshaft (2) and signal plate (1) with position-

ing dowl pin (A), tighten bolts.

c.

Remove dowel pin.

CAUTION:

Be sure to remove dowel pin.

6. Install crankshaft to cylinder block.

• While turning crankshaft by hand, check that it turns smoothly. 

CAUTION:

Do not install rear oil seal yet.

7. Install lower cylinder block with the following procedure:
a. Apply liquid gasket with a suitable tool to lower cylinder block. 

Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to

GI-22, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants"

.

NOTE:

Lower cylinder block cannot be replaced as a single part because it is machined together with cylinder

block.

b. Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of the bolts.
c.

Tighten lower cylinder block bolts to specification in the numeri-

cal order as shown.

d. Tighten bolts to specification using suitable tool and Tool (A).

CAUTION:

Check rotation angle. Do not judge angle by visual inspec-

tion. 

NOTE:

Torque and rotation angle should be within tolerance. 

e. Install rear oil seal. Refer to 

EM-84, "REAR OIL SEAL : Removal and Installation"

.

• After installing bolts, check that crankshaft can be rotated smoothly by hand.

• Wipe off completely any protruding liquid gasket on front side of engine.

• Check crankshaft end play. Refer to 

EM-105, "Inspection"

.

8. Install piston to connecting rod with the following procedure: 
a. Install new snap ring to the groove of the piston rear side using snap ring pliers. 

• Insert it fully into groove to install. 

CAUTION:

Do not reuse snap rings.

b. Assemble piston to connecting rod.

• Using a heat gun (A), heat piston until piston pin can be

pushed in by hand without excess force [approximately 60

°C

to 70

°C (140°F to 158°F)]. From the front to the rear, insert pis-

ton pin into piston and connecting rod.

CAUTION:

• Avoid directly touching piston.

• Piston contains heat, when working, wear protective

equipment to avoid getting burned.

• Set so that the front mark (A) on the piston head, the oil splash

(B) and the cylinder number (C) on connecting rod are posi-

tioned as shown.

c. Install new snap ring to the groove of the piston front side. 

• Insert it fully into groove to install. 

• After installing, check that connecting rod moves smoothly.

9. Install piston rings using suitable tool. 

• Position each ring with the gap as shown referring to the pis-

ton front mark (B).

• Install second ring with the stamped surface (E) facing

upward.

CAUTION:

• Do not damage piston.

• Do not damage piston rings by expanding them exces-

sively.

• Do not contact rail end gap under oil ring with oil drain cast groove of piston.

10. Install connecting rod bearings to connecting rod and connect-

ing rod cap.

• When installing connecting rod bearings apply new engine oil

to the bearing surface (inside). Do not apply engine oil to the

back surface, but thoroughly clean it. 

• When installing, align the connecting rod bearing stopper pro-

trusion (A) with the cutout (B) of connecting rod and connect-

ing rod cap to install. 

• Ensure the oil hole on connecting rod and that on the corre-

sponding bearing are aligned. 

11. Install piston (A) and connecting rod assembly to crankshaft. 

• Position crankshaft pin corresponding to connecting rod to be

installed onto the bottom dead center. 

• Apply new engine oil sufficiently to the cylinder bore, piston

and crankshaft pin. 

• Match the cylinder position with the cylinder number on con-

necting rod to install. 

• Using a suitable tool, install piston with the front mark on the

piston head facing the front of the engine. 

CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage the cylinder wall and crankshaft

pin, resulting from an interference of the connecting rod

big end.

12. Install connecting rod cap. 

• Match the stamped cylinder number marks on connecting rod

with those on connecting rod cap to install.
