3. Measure camshaft end play between locating plate and gear.
If beyond the specified limit, replace camshaft locating plate.
Camshaft end play: mm (in)
Standard
0.08 - 0.28 (0.0031 - 0.0110)
Limit
Less than 0.5 (0.020)
4. Measure camshaft cam height. If beyond the specified limit,
replace camshaft.

Assembly
PISTON
Assemble pistons, piston pins, snap rings and connecting rods.
a. Numbers are stamped on the connecting rod and cap
corresponding to each cylinder. Care should be taken to
avoid a wrong combination including bearing.
b. When inserting piston pin in connecting rod, heat piston
with a heater or hot water [approximately 60 to 70ÉC (140
to 158ÉF)] and apply engine oil to pin and small end of
connecting rod.
c. After assembling, ascertain that piston swings
smoothly.

Install piston assembly.
CAUTION:
lStretch the piston rings only enough to fit them in the
piston grooves.
lAlways install new piston rings with the position marks
facing up.
Identification color
Top ring Yellow
2nd ring Red
lInstall No. 1 piston ring in such a way that its gap faces
the direction of the piston pin; and then install piston
rings so that their gap positioned at 180É to one another.
CRANKSHAFT
1. Install crankshaft.
(1) Set main bearings in the proper position on cylinder block.
a. If either crankshaft, cylinder block or main bearing is
reused again, it is necessary to measure main bearing
clearance.
b. Upper bearings have oil hole and oil groove, however
lower bearings do not.
(2) Apply engine oil to crankshaft journal and pin and install
crankshaft.
(3) Install main bearing caps.
a. Install main bearing cap with the number facing the front of
vehicle.
b. Apply engine oil to main bearing cap and cylinder block con-
tact surfaces.
c. Install rear oil seal assembly. Apply engine oil to contact
surface of rear end oil seal and crankshaft.
(4) Install crankshaft thrust washer at the 4th journal from front.
Install thrust washer so that oil groove can face crankshaft.

(5) Tighten main bearing cap bolts gradually in stages, starting
from two to three separate stages, from center bearing and
moving outward in sequence.
: 167 - 177 Nzm (17.0 - 18.0 kg-m, 123 - 130 ft-lb)
(6) Measure crankshaft free end play at No. 4 bearing.
Crankshaft free end play: mm (in)
Standard
0.055 - 0.140 (0.0022 - 0.0055)
Limit
0.40 (0.0157)
If beyond the limit, replace No. 4 main bearing thrust
washer. Refer to SDS, EM-106.
2. Install pistons with connecting rods.
(1) Install them into corresponding cylinder using Tool.
lBe careful not to scratch cylinder wall with connecting
rod.
lInsert the connecting rod. Do not allow the larger end to
touch the oil jet.
lApply engine oil to cylinder wall, piston and bearing.
lThe leaf type combustion chamber on piston head must
be at right side of engine.
(2) Install connecting rod bearing caps.

Connecting rod side clearance: mm (in)
Standard
0.10 - 0.22 (0.0039 - 0.0087)
Limit
0.22 (0.0087)
If beyond the limit, replace connecting rod and/or crank-
shaft.
GEAR TRAIN
1. Set No. 1 piston at TDC on its compression stroke.
2. Align each gear mark and install gears.
TIMING GEAR CASE
Installation
1. Before installing timing gear case, remove all traces of liquid
gasket from mating surface using a scraper.
Also remove traces of liquid gasket from mating surface of
front plate.
2. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surface
of timing gear case and dust cover.
