the connecting rod is bent or twisted, replace the
connecting rod.
2. Inspect the connecting rod bearings.
3. Inspect the connecting rod lower end for wear.
4. Inspect the connecting rod upper end for scoring.

8. Inspect the piston for fit to the connecting rod.
9. Inspect the engine block deck surface for flatness
using a straight edge and a feeler gauge. Refer to
”Engine Specifications” in this section.
10. Inspect the bearing bore for concentricity and align-
ment using cylinder bore check gauge J–8087. Re-
fer to ”Engine Specifications” in this section. If the
bearing bore is beyond specifications, replace the
engine block.
11. Inspect the engine block cylinder bore for wear,
runout, ridging and taper using a bore gauge. Refer
to ”Engine Specifications” in this section.
12. Inspect the engine block cylinder bore for glazing.
Lightly hone the cylinder bore as necessary.
Installation Procedure
Important : For ease of installation of the piston pin, the
connecting rod should be heated to 2805C. Heat the upper
connecting rod only. Use commercial thermocolor materi-
al to determine the correct temperature. When the thermo-
color material changes from black to green, the tempera-
ture is correct for installation.
1. Align the notch on the piston and connecting rod so
that the proper sides will be facing the front of the
engine.
2. Install the piston pin guide through the piston and
the connecting rod.
3. Coat the piston pin with clean oil.
4. Install the piston pin into the opposite side of the
piston.
5. Install the piston pin into the piston and connecting
rod assembly using the piston pin service set
KM–427.
6. Select a set of new piston rings.
7. Measure the piston ring gap using a feeler gauge.
Refer to ”Engine Specifications” in this section.
8. Increase the piston ring gap by carefully filing off
excess material if the piston ring gap is below spec-
ifications.

Valve Grind
1. Ensure that there are no crater line burns on the
valve cone.
2. The valve may be reground only two times. Do not
grind the valve stem end.
3. Ensure that the angle at the valve face is 45 de-
grees.
4. Inspect the assembly height of the intake valves
and the exhaust valves.
Valve Guide – Ream
1. Measure the diameter of the valve guide using
gauge MKM–571–B and a commercially available
inside micrometer.
Important : Valve oversizes may already have been fitted
in production.
2. An oversize service code is on the valve guide and
the valve stem end. The following table gives the
correct size, reamer, and production code for each
service.

Normal––K
0.075KM–8051K1
0.150–2K2
3. Ream the valve guide from the upper side of the
cylinder head to the next oversize.
4. After reaming, cross out the code and emboss the
valve guide with the new code.
Valve Seat – Cut
1. Place the cylinder head on wooden blocks.
2. Cut the intake and the exhaust valve seats using
the guide drift KM–340–7 as follows:
S Valve seat – A 45–degree surface using the cut-
ter KM–340–13.
S Upper correction angle – A 30–degree surface
using the cutter KM–340–13.
S Lower correction angle – A 60–degree surface
using the cutter KM–340–26.
3. Clean the chippings from the cylinder head.

DRAINING AND REFILLING THE
COOLING SYSTEM
CAUTION : Do not remove the surge tank cap while
the engine and the radiator are hot. Scalding fluid and
steam may be blown out under pressure.
1. Place a pan below the vehicle to catch the draining
coolant.
2. Remove the surge tank cap.
3. Unplug the drain cock.
CAUTION : Dispose of the used coolant to a used
coolant holding tank to be picked up with the used oil
for disposal. Never pour the used coolant down the
drain. Ethylene glycol antifreeze is an extremely toxic
chemical. Disposing of it into the sewer system or the
ground water can contaminate the local environment.
4. Catch the escaping fluid in a drain pan.
5. Remove all sludge and dirt from inside the surge
tank. Refer to ”Surge Tank” in this section.
6. Plug the drain cock.
7. Add the clean water to the surge tank.
8. Fill the tank slowly so that the upper reservoir hose
remains above the water line. This allows the air
inside the cooling system to escape.
9. Start the engine.
10. Run the engine until the thermostat opens. You can
tell the thermostat is open when both radiator
hoses are hot to the touch.
11. Stop the engine.
12. Repeat Steps 1 through 9 until the drained water is
clear and free of coolant and rust.
Notice : Never use an antifreeze mixture more concen-
trated than 60 percent antifreeze to 40 percent water. The
solution freezing point increases above this concentration.
13. Fill the cooling system through the surge tank with
a mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and water.
The mixture must be at least 50 percent antifreeze,
but not more than 60 percent antifreeze.
14. Fill the surge tank to the specified MAX fill mark on
the outside of the tank.
