Selection Procedure for Selective Part
Combination
Location Selective part combination Item Method
Cylinder block - pistonPiston and piston assembly
(Part No. is given to a piston
and piston pin as a set.)Piston grade (Piston outer
diameter)Refer to ªSelective combination
chartº.
IIdentification grade stamped on each part represents initial
dimension of new part. This grade will not be applied to a
reused part.
IMeasure correct dimensions of a reused or modified part, then
refer to ªSelective combination chartº in this manual to identify
the grade.
IRefer to the applicable pages for measurement method for
each part, standards for reuse, and selecting method for selec-
tive part combination.
Disassembly
1. Remove engine assembly from vehicle.
Refer to EM-63, ªENGINE REMOVALº.
2. Remove pilot bushing from flywheel using pilot bearing puller
(SST), if necessary (M/T model).
3. Install engine to engine stand (SST).

IUsing ring gear stopper (SST), secure ring gear, and remove
mounting bolts.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble flywheel.
IFlywheel has a two-piece structure. When being pressed
forward/backward, or twisted in rotating direction, transmission-
side mass will be moved with audible sound. This is not a
problem.
2) Remove pilot converter (A/T model) and rear plate.

7. Remove piston and connecting rod assembly.
IBefore removing piston and connecting rod assembly, check
connecting rod side clearance.
Refer to EM-71, ªCONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCEº.
1) Move crankshaft pin to be removed to approximately BDC.
2) Remove connecting rod caps.
3) Using the grip of a hammer, press the piston and connecting
rod assembly out to cylinder head side.
CAUTION:
When removing the piston and connecting rod assembly, pre-
vent the big end of the connecting rod from interfering with the
oil jet.
8. Remove connecting rod bearings from connecting rods and
caps.
IKeep them by cylinder to avoid confusion.
9. Remove piston rings from pistons using piston ring expander
(multi-purpose tool).
CAUTION:
IWhen removing, prevent pistons from being damaged.
IDo not expand piston rings excessively. This may damage
the piston rings.
10. Remove pistons from connecting rods.
