qRemove the upper bearing halves from the connect-
ing rods and set them aside with their respective
caos.
Reinstall the main caps and bearings on the engine
in proper order,
lf you can feel ridge of metal or hard carbon around
the top of each cylinder, remove it with a ridge
reamer. Follow the reamer manufacturer's instruc-
I|ons.
CAUTION; lf the ridge is not removed, it may dam-
age tho pistons as they are pushod out.

pastons out.
13.Reinstall the connecting rod bearings and caps after
removing each piston/connecting rod assembly.
Mark each piston/connecting rod assembly with its
cylinder number to avoid mixup on reassembly.
NOTE: The existing number on the connecting rod
does not indicate its position in the engine, it indi-
cates the rod bore size.

lnstallation
Before installing the pistons, apply a coat of
engine oil to the ring grooves and cylinder
bores.
lf the crankshaft is already installed:
. Set the crankshaft to BDC for each cylinder.
. Remove the connecting rod caps, and slip short
sections of rubber hose over the threaded ends
of the connecting rod bolts.
. lnstall the ring compressor. check that the bear-
ing is securely in place, then position the piston
in the cylinder, and tap it in using the wooden
handle of a hammer.
o Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and
check the connecting rod-to-crank journal align-
ment before pushing the piston into place
. Apply engine oil to the bolt threads. Install the
rod caps with bearings, and torque the nuts to:
815A2 engine:
40 N.m {,1.1 kgf.m, 30 lbf'ft|
D16Y5, D16Y7, D16Y8 engines:
31 N.m (3.2 kgf'm,23 lbf'ft)
lf the crankshaft is not installed:
. Remove the rod caps and bearings, install the ring
compressor, then position the piston in the cylin-
der, and tap it in using the wooden handle of a
hammer.
. Position all Distons at top dead center.

lnstallation
Before installing the crankshaft, apply a coat of
engine oil to the main bearings and rod bearings.
Insert the bearing halves into the cylinder block and
connecting rods.
Hold the crankshaft so the rod journals for cylinders
No.2 and No. 3 are straight down.
Lower the crankshaft into the block, seating the rod
journals into connecting rods No. 2 and No. 3, and
install the rod caps and nuts finger-tight.

Grooved sides faceoulward.Botate the crankshaft clockwise, seat journals into
connecting rods No, 1 and No.4, and install the rod
caps and nuts finger-tight.
NOTE: Install caps so the bearing recess is on the
same side as the recess in the rod.
Check rod bearing clearance with plastigage (see
page 7-11), then torque the capnuts. Apply engine
oil to the bolt threads.
