INSPECTION
PISTONNO@lCAFReplace the piston if scratches or seizure is evident on its
surfaces (especially the thrust surface). Replace the piston if it
is cracked.PISTON PIN
(1) Insert the piston pin into the piston pin hole with a thumb.
You should feel a slight resistance. Replace the piston pin ifit can be easily inserted or there is an excessive play.
(2) The piston and piston pin must be replaced as an assembly.PISTON RING
NOSTCBF
(1) Check the piston ring for damage, excessive wear, and
breakage and replace if defects are evident. If the piston
has been replaced with a new one, the piston rings must
also be replaced with new ones.
(2) Check the clearance between the piston ring and ring
groove. If the limit is exceeded, replace the ring or piston,
or both.
Standard value: 0.03-0.07 mm
(.0012-.0028 in.)
Limit: 0.1 mm
(.004 in.)
(3) Install the piston ring into the cylinder bore. Force it down
with a piston, its crown being in contact with the ring, to
correctly position it at right angles to the cylinder wall.
Then, measure the end gap with a feeler gauge.
If the ring gap is excessive, replace the piston ring.
Standard value:
No. 10.25-0.40 mm (.0098-.0157 in.)

streaks, scratches, and seizure. Replace if defects are
evident. If streaks and seizure are excessive, check also the
crankshaft. If damage is present on the crankshaft, replacecrankshaft or regrind to undersize for reuse.
(2) Measure the connecting rod bearing I.D. and crankshaft pin
O.D. if the oil clearance exceeds the limit, replace bearing,
and crankshaft if necessary. Or, regrind the crankshaft to anundersize and replace bearing with an undersize one.
Standard value:

NOTEFor oil clearance measuring method using the plastic
gauge, refer to the section CRANKSHAFT.
SERVICE POINTS OF REASSEMBLYNO9TGACa9. INSTALLATION OF OIL RING
(1) Fit the oil ring spacer
into’the piston ring groove.
NOTEThe side rails and spacer may be installed in either
direction.(2) Install the upper side rail.
To install the side rail, first fit one end of the rail into thepiston groove, then press the remaining portion into
position by finger. See illustration.
Use of ring expander to expand the side rail end gap canbreak the side rail, unlike other piston rings.
NOTEDo not use piston ring expander when installing side
rail.(3) Install the lower side rail in the same procedure as
described in step (2).
(4) Make sure that the side rails move smoothly in either
direction.

2.Install piston rings No. 1 and No. 2 with their side havingmarks facing up (on the piston crown side).
4. INSTALLATION OF PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD(1) Liberally coat engine oil on the circumference of the
piston, piston ring, and oil ring.
(2) Arrange the piston ring and oil ring gaps (side rail and
Aspacer) as shown in the figure.
(3) Rotate crankshaft so that crank pin is on center of
cylinder bore.
(4) Use suitable thread protectors on connecting rod boltstiefore inserting piston and connecting rod assembly
into cylinder block. Care must be taken not to nick crank
pin.(5) Using a suitable piston ring compressor tool, install
piston and connecting rod assembly into cylinder block.Caution
Insert the front mark
(aryow) on the top of the
piston so it faces the erigine front (timing belt side).
2. INSTALLATION OF CONNECTING ROD CAP(1) Mate the correct bearing cap with the correct connect-
ing rod by checking with the alignment marks marked
during disassembly. If a new connecting rod is used
which has no alignment mark, position the notches for
locking the bearing on the same side.

CRANKSHAFT OIL CLEARANCE (PLASTIC GAUGE
METHOD)
The crankshaft oil clearance can be measured easily by using aplastic gauge, as follows:
(1) Remove oil and grease and any other foreign matters from
crankshaft journal and bearing inner surface.
(2) Install the crankshaft.
(3) Cut the plastic gauge to the same length as the width of
bearing and place it on journal in parallel with its axis.
(4) Gently place the crankshaft bearing cap over it and tighten
the bolts to the specified torque.
(5) Remove the bolts and gently remove the crankshaft
bearing cap.(6) Measure the width of the smashed plastic gauge at its
widest section by using a scale printed on the plastic gauge
bag.

(1) Check oil seal lip for wear and damage.
(2) Check rubber for deterioration or hardening.
(3) Check oil seal case for cracks and damage.
RING GEAR (Engine with a manual transaxle)
Check teeth of ring gear for wear and damage. If necessary,
replace the ring gear.
If the ring gear teeth are worn or damaged, also check the
starter motor pinion.
To remove the ring gear, strike the ring gear at several points
on its outer circumference. The ring gear cannot be removed ifit is heated.
To install the ring gear, heat the ring gear to
300°C (572°F) for
shrink fit.
FLYWHEEL (Engine with a manual transaxle)
(1) Check the clutch disc friction surface for ridge wear,
streaks, and seizure. If necessary, replace flywheel.
(2) If the
runout of flywheel exceeds the limit, replace.++.Limit: 0.13 mm
