WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplement Restraint (Air Bag) System:

Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under “Gener-
al Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing service on
or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Service Precau-
tions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service on or around
the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in unintentional
activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either or these two conditions may
result in severe injury.

Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system may
be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).

ENGINE LUBRICATION
The oil pump is of a trochoid type, and mounted on crankshaft at crankshaft pulley side.
Oil is drawn up through oil pump strainer and passed through pump to oil filter.
The filtered oil flows into two paths in cylinder block. In one path, oil reaches crankshaft journal bearings.
Oil from crankshaft journal bearings is supplied to connecting rod bearings by means of intersecting passages
drilled in crankshaft, and then injected from a small hole provided on big end of connecting rod to lubricate piston,
rings, and cylinder wall.
In another path, oil goes up to cylinder head and lubricates camshaft journals, rocker arms, camshaft, etc., passing
through oil gallery in rocker arm shaft.
An oil relief valve is provided on oil pump. This valve starts relieving oil pressure when the pressure comes over
about 400 kPa (4.0 kg / cm
2, 56.9 psi). Relieved oil drains back to oil pan.

CYLINDER BLOCK
The cylinder block is made of cast aluminum alloy and
has 4 cylinders arranged “In-Line”. A cylindrical cast
iron sleeve is installed in each cylinder.
CRANKSHAFT AND MAIN
BEARINGS
A monoblock casting crankshaft is supported by
5 main bearings which are of precision insert type.
Four crank pins on the crankshaft are positioned 180
apart.
PISTONS, RINGS, PISTON PINS AND
CONNECTING RODS
The piston is cast aluminum alloy, and has two com-
pression rings and one oil ring.
Among two compression rings (top and 2nd rings),
the outer surface of the top ring is treated with hard
chromium for improvement in abrasion resistance.
The oil ring consists of two rails and one spacer. The
piston pin is offset 0.5 mm towards the major thrust
side.This allows a gradual change in thrust pressure
against the cylinder wall as the piston travels its path.
Pins, made of chromium steel, have a floating fit in the
pistons and in the connecting rods. The connecting
rods are made of forged steel, and the rod bearings
are of precision insert type.
CYLINDER HEAD AND VALVE TRAIN
The cylinder head is made of aluminum casting. The
supporting part of the camshaft is an independent cap
type. The combustion chamber has 4 valves and uses
the center plug type pent roof shape for higher intake
and exhaust efficiency.
As the intake side rocker arm is end pivot type, it
swings according to the camshaft movement to open
and close the intake valve.
On the other hand, the exhaust side rocker arm is see-
saw type. It swings with the rocker arm shaft as its
supporting point and according to the camshaft
movement to open and close the exhaust valve.

REMOVAL
1) Remove cylinder head from cylinder block as previously out-
lined.
2) Drain engine oil.
3) Remove oil pan and oil pump strainer as previously outlined.
4) Mark cylinder number on all pistons, connecting rods and rod
bearing caps, using silver pencil or quick drying paint.
5) Remove rod bearing caps.
6) Install guide hose (1) over threads of rod bolts. This is to prevent
damage to bearing journal and rod bolt threads when removing
connecting rod.
7) Decarbon top of cylinder bore before removing piston from cylin-
der.
8) Push piston and connecting rod assembly out through the top of
cylinder bore.

Piston Rings
To measure end gap, insert piston ring (3) into cylinder bore and
then measure the gap by using thickness gauge (2).
If measured gap is out of specification, replace ring.
NOTE:
Decarbon and clean top of cylinder bore before inserting pis-
ton ring.

and connected to its crank pin in the normal manner. If measured
clearance is found to exceed its limit, replace connecting rod.

Also, a letter A, B or C is stamped on piston head but ordinarily
it is not necessary to discriminate each piston by this letter.
1) Install piston pin to piston (1) and connecting rod (3):
After applying engine oil to piston pin and piston pin holes in pis-
ton and connecting rod, fit connecting rod to piston as shown in
figure and insert piston pin to piston and connecting rod, and
install piston pin circlips.
NOTE:
Circlip should be installed with its cut part facing either up
or down as shown in figure.
2) Install piston rings to piston:

As indicated in figure, 1st and 2nd rings have “RN” or “R” mark
respectively. When installing these piston rings to piston, di-
rect marked side of each ring toward top of piston.

1st ring (1) difffers from 2nd ring (2) in thickness, shape and
color of surface contacting cylinder wall.
Distinguish 1st ring from 2nd ring by referring to figure.

When installing oil ring (3), install spacer first and then two
rails.
3) After installing three rings (1st, 2nd and oil rings), distribute their
end gaps as shown in figure.

B: Flywheel side

INSTALLATION OR CONNECTION
1) Apply engine oil to pistons, rings, cylinder walls, connecting rod
bearings and crankpins.
NOTE:
Do not apply oil between connecting rod and bearing or be-
tween bearing cap and bearing.
2) Install guide hoses over connecting rod bolts.
These guide hoses protect crankpin and threads of rod bolt from
damage during installation of connecting rod and piston assem-
bly.
3) When installing piston and connecting rod assembly into cylin-
der bore, point arrow mark on piston head to crankshaft pulley
side.
4) Install piston and connecting rod assembly into cylinder bore.
Use special tool (Piston ring compressor) to compress rings.
Guide connecting rod into place on crankshaft.
Using a hammer handle, tap piston head to install piston into
bore. Hold ring compressor firmly against cylinder block until all
piston rings have entered cylinder bore.

5) Install bearing cap (1):
Point arrow mark (2) on cap to crankshaft pulley side (3).
Tighten cap nuts to specification.

5) Rebore and hone cylinder to calculated dimension.
NOTE:
Before reboring, install all main bearing caps in place and
tighten to specification to avoid distortion of bearing bores.
6) Measure piston clearance after honing.
INSTALLATION
NOTE:

All parts to be installed must be perfectly clean.

Be sure to oil crankshaft journals, journal bearings, thrust
bearings, crankpins, connecting rod bearings, pistons, pis-
ton rings and cylinder bores.

Journal bearings, bearing caps, connecting rods, rod bear-
ings, rod bearing caps, pistons and piston rings are in com-
bination sets. Do not disturb such combination and make
sure that each part goes back to where it came from, when
installing.
1) Install main bearings to cylinder block.
One of two halves of main bearing (2), has an oil groove (3).
Install it to cylinder block (1), and the other half without oil groove
to bearing cap.
Make sure that two halves are painted in the same color.
2) Install thrust bearings (1) to cylinder block between No.2 and
No.3 cylinders. Face oil groove (2) sides to crank webs.
