NOTE:
. Use liquid gasket, Part No. 08718 - 0001.. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry
before applying liquid gasket.
a Do not install the parts if 20 minutes or more
have elapsed since applying liquid gasket.

Main Bearings
Clearance
To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance,
remove the main caps and bearing halves.
Clean each main journal and bearing half with a
clean shop towel.
Place one strip of plastigage across each main iour-
nal.
NOTE: lf the engine is still in the car when you bolt
the main caD down to check clearance, the weight
of the crankshaft and flywheel will flatten the plasti-
gage further than just the torque on the cap bolt,
and give you an incorrect reading. Fot an accurate
reading, support the crank with a iack under the
counterweights and check only one bearing at a
trme.
Reinstall the bearing caps and cap bridge (818C1
engine only) then torque the bolts.

tron,

PLASTIGAGE STNIP
lf the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow,
(remove the engine if it's still in the car), remove the
crankshaft. and remove the upper half of the bear-
ing. Install a new. complete bearing with the same
color code (select the color as shown in the right
column), and recheck the clearance.
CAUTION: Do not file, shim, or scrapo ihe bo.rings
or the caps to adiust clearance.
lf the plastigage shows the clearance is still incor-
rect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color
listed above or below that one), and check again.
NOTE: lf the Droper clearance cannot be obtained
by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings,
reolace the crankshaft and start over.

2.Check the top of the block for warpage.
Measure along the edges and across the center as
snown.

Service Limit 0.08 mm {0.003 inl
Measure cylinder bores as shown on page 7-13.
lf the block is to be reused, hone the cylinders and
remeasure the bores.
Hone cylinder bores with honing oil and a fine (400
grit) stone in a 60 degree cross-hatch pattern.
NOTE:
. Use only a rigid hone with 400 grit or finer stone
such as Sunnen, Ammco, or equivalent.
a Do not use stones that are worn or broken.
When honing is complete, thoroughly clean the
cylinder block of all metal panicles. Wash the cylin-
der bores with hot soapy water, then dry and oil
immediately to prevent rusting.
NOTE: Never use solvent, it will only redistribute
the grit on the cylinder walls.
lf scoring or scralches are still present in cylinder
bores after honing to the service limit, rebore the
engine block.
NOTEr Some light venical scoring and scratching is
acceptable if it is not deep enough to catch your fin-
gernail and does not run the full length of the bore.
CYLINDER HONE
. After honing, clean the cylinder thoroughly with
soapy water.
. Only scored or scratched cylinder bores must be
noneo.

Piston
lnstallation
'1.
Before installing the piston, apply a coat ofengine oil to the ring grooves and cylinder bores.
lf the crankshaft is already installed:
. Remove the connecting rod caps and slip short
sections of rubber hose ove. the threaded ends
of the connecting rod bolts.
a Install 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.
Stop after the ring compressor pops free and
check the connecting rod-to-crank journal align-
ment before tapping piston into place.
. Install the rod caps with bearings, then torque
the nuts,

lf the crankshaft is not installed:
o Remove the rod caps and bearings. install the

cylinder and tap it in using the wooden handle of
a nammer.
. Position all Distons at toD dead center.
CONNECTING RODOIL HOI-E (Br8Bl onginelThe arrow must facethe timing belt sideof the engine. Theconnecting rod oil holemust lace the intak€manifold {81881 €ngine).
NOTE: Maintain downward force on the ring com-
pressor to prevent rings from expanding before
entering the cylinder bore,
BING COMPRESSORUse the wooden handleof a hammer to push ortap the piston into thecylinder bore.
Piston Rings
Replacement
1.Using a ring expander, remove old piston rings.
Clean all ring g.ooves thoroughly.
NOTE:
. Use a squared-oJf broken ring or ring groove
cleaner with blade to fit piston grooves.
. Top ring groove is 1.0 mm (0.039 in) wide, sec-
ond groove is 1.2 mm (0.047 in) wide. and oil
ring groove is 2.8 mm (0.110 in) wide.. File down blade if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not use a wire brush to cloan thr
ring lands, or cut ring lands dsopo. with cl€aning
tool.
NOTE: lf the piston is to be separated from the con-
necting rod, do not install new rings yet.
Install new rings in the prope. sequence and posi-
tion (see page 7-18).
NOTE: Do not use old piston rings.

I
'1. Using a piston, push a new ring into the cylinderbore 15 - 20 mm (0.6 0.8 in) from the boftom.
Measure the piston ring end-gap with a feelergauge:
lf the gap is too small. check to see if you have
the proper rings for your engine.
lf the gap is too large, recheck the cylinder bore
diameter against the wear limits on page 7-13.
ll the bore is over the service limit, the cylinder
block must be rebored.
