ENGINE – Piston and Connecting Rod11-65
GCONNECTING ROD CAP NUT INSTALLATION
Caution
If the cylinder head has been installed before installing
the connecting rod cap nut, be sure to remove the spark
plugs.
(1) Since the connecting rod cap bolts and nuts are torqued
using the plastic area tightening method, the bolts should
be examined BEFORE reuse. If the bolt threads are
“necked down”, the bolt should be replaced.
Necking can be checked by running a nut with fingers
to the full length of the bolt threads. If the nut does not
run down smoothly, the bolt should be replaced.
(2) Before installation of each nut, apply engine oil to the
thread portion and bearing surface of the nut.
(3) Install each nut to the bolt and tighten it with fingers.
Then tighten the nuts alternately to install the cap properly.
(4) Tighten the nuts to a torque of 20 Nm.
(5) Make a paint mark on the head of each nut.
(6) Make a paint mark on the bolt end at the position 90°
to 94° from the paint mark made on the nut in the direction
of tightening the nut.
(7) Give a 90° to 94° turn to the nut and make sure that
the paint mark on the nut and that on the bolt are in
alignment.
Caution
1. If the nut is turned less than 90°, proper fastening
performance may not be expected. When
tightening the nut, therefore, be careful to give
a sufficient turn to it.
2. If the nut is overtightened (exceeding 94°), loosen
the nut completely and then retighten it by
repeating the tightening procedure from step (1).
INSPECTION
PISTON RING
(1) Check the piston ring for damage, excessive wear, and
breakage and replace if defects are evident. If the piston
has been replaced with a new one, the piston rings must
also be replaced with new ones.
(2) Check for the clearance between the piston ring and
ring groove. If the limit is exceeded, replace the ring or
piston, or both.
Standard value:
No. 1 ring 0.04 – 0.075 mm
No. 2 ring 0.02 – 0.06 mm
Limit: 0.1 mm

(3) Install the piston ring into the cylinder bore. Force it down
with a piston, its crown being in contact with the ring,
to correctly position it at right angles to the cylinder wall.
Then, measure the end gap with a feeler gauge. If the
ring gap is excessive, replace the piston ring.
Standard value:
No. 1 ring 0.25 – 0.35 mm
No. 2 ring 0.40 – 0.55 mm
Oil ring 0.10 – 0.40 mm
Limit:
No. 1, No. 2 ring 0.8 mm
Oil ring 1.0 mm

top surface for warpage. Make sure that the surface is
free from gasket chips and other foreign matter.
Standard value: 0.05 mm
Limit: 0.1 mm

LOWER ARM BALL JOINT ROTATION STARTING
TORQUE CHECK
(1) After shaking the ball joint stud several times, install the
nut to the stud and use the special tool to measure the
rotation starting torque of the ball joint.
Standard value: 1.0 – 3.4 Nm
(2) When the measured value exceeds the standard value,
replace the ball joint assembly.
(3) When the measured value is lower than the standard
value, check that the ball joint turns smoothly without
excessive play. If so, it is possible to use that ball joint.
LOWER ARM BALL JOINT DUST COVER
REPLACEMENT
When the dust cover is damaged during service work or grease
leaks out from the dust cover, replace the dust cover in the
conventional procedure. After replacement, check the dust
cover for cracks or damage by pushing it with finger.
