three levels in each cylinder. lf the measurements in
any cylinder are beyond the Service Limjt, replace
the block.

2. Set the crankshatt to BDC for each cylinder.3. Remove the connecting rod caps, and slip short sections of rubber hose over the threaded ends of theconnecting rod bolts.
4. lnstall the ring compressor, and check that the bear-ang is securely in place.
5. Position the piston in the cylinder, and tap it in usingthe wooden handle of a hammer. Maintain down-ward force on the ring compressor to prevent ringstrom expanding before entering the cylinder bore.6. Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and checkthe connecting rod-to-crank journal alignmentbefore pushing piston into place.

NOTE: Whenever any crankshaft or connecting rod
bearing is replaced, it is necessary after reassembly
to run the engine at idling speed until it reaches
normal operating temperature, then continue to run
it for approximatelY 15 minutes.

Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing the
old residue.
. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before
filling the engine with oil.

Oil Filter
The numbers in the middle of the API Service label tell
you the oil's SAE viscosity or weighl. Select the oil for
your vehicle according to this chart:
Ambient Temperature
100 F
40c-30 -20 -10
An oil with a viscosity of 5 W - 30 is preferred for
improved fuel economy and year-round protection in
the vehicle. You may use a 10 W - 30 oil if the climate in
your area is limited to the temperature range shown on
the chart.

Some filters have eight numbers (1 to 8) printed on
the surface of the filter.
The following explains the procedure for tightening
filters using these numbers.
l) Make a mark on the cylinder block under the num-
ber that shows at the bottom of the filter when the
rubber seal is seated.
2) Tighten the filter by turning it clockwise seven
numbers from the makes point. For example, if a
mark is made under the number 2 when the rub-
ber seal is seated, the filter should be tightened
until the number 1 comes up to the marked point.

5.After installation. fill the engine with oil up to the
specified level, run the engine for more than threeminutes, then check for oil leakage and oil level.
GAUTION: Installation using other than the aboveprocedure could result in serious engine damage
due to oil leakage.
