4. PISTON RING
1) If piston ring is broken, damaged, or worn, or if its ten-
sion is insufficient, or when the piston is replaced, replace
piston ring with a new one of the same size as the piston.
CAUTION:
“R”is marked on the end of the top and second
rings. When installing the rings to the piston, face this
mark upward.
G2M0624
The oil ring is a combined ring consisting of two
rails and a spacer in between. When installing, be care-
ful to assemble correctly.

ST2 498457100 ENGINE STAND ADAPTER LH
ST3 499817000 ENGINE STAND
2) All parts should be thoroughly cleaned, paying special
attention to the engine oil passages, pistons and bearings.
3) Rotating parts and sliding parts such as piston, bearing
and gear should be coated with oil prior to assembly.
4) Be careful not to let oil, grease or coolant contact the
timing belt, clutch disc and flywheel.
5) All removed parts, if to be reused, should be reinstalled
in the original positions and directions.
6) Gaskets and lock washers must be replaced with new
ones. Liquid gasket should be used where specified to
prevent leakage.
7) Bolts, nuts and washers should be replaced with new
ones as required.
8) Even if necessary inspections have been made in
