0A-4 GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING:
SDM
 During service procedures, be very careful when handling a Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
Never strike or jar the SDM.
Never power up the air bag system when the SDM is not rigidly attached to the vehicle. All SDM and
mounting bracket fasteners must be carefully torqued and the arrow must be pointing toward the
front of the vehicle to ensure proper operation of the air bag system.
The SDM could be activated when powered while not rigidly attached to the vehicle which could
cause deployment and result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Driver and Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioners
 For handling and storage of a live seat belt preten-
sioner, select a place where the ambient temperature
below 65°C (150°F), without high humidity and away
from electric noise.
 Never carry seat belt pretensioner by wire or connec-
tor of pretensioner. When placing a live seat belt pre-
tensioner on the workbench or some place like that, be
sure not to lay it with its exhaust hole (1) provided side
facing down. It is also prohibited to put something on
its face with an exhaust hole or to put a seat belt pre-
tensioner on top of another. Otherwise, personal injury
may result.
 Never dispose of live (inactivated) seat belt pretension-
ers (drive and passenger). If disposal is necessary, be
sure to activate them according to activation proce-
dures described in SECTION 10B before disposal.
 The seat belt pretensioner immediately after activation
is very hot. Wait for at least half an hour to cool it off
before proceeding the work.
 With many service procedures, gloves and safety
glasses should be worn to prevent any possible irrita-
tion of the skin or eyes.

INSPECTION
Valve guides
Using a micrometer and bore gauge, take diameter readings on
valve stems and guides to check stem-to-guide clearance. Be
sure to take reading at more than one place along the length of
each stem and guide.
If clearance exceeds limit, replace valve and valve guide.

INSTALLATION
1) Clean mating surface on cylinder head and cylinder block.
Remove oil, old gasket and dust from mating surface.
2) Install knock pin (4) to cylinder block.
3) Apply sealant “A” to cylinder head gasket (1) as shown in the
figure.
“A” : Sealant 99000-31150
Sealant amount (Width “w”) :
4 mm (0.158 in.)

ASSEMBLY
1) 2 sizes of piston are available as standard size spare part so
as to ensure proper piston-to-cylinder clearance. When
installing a standard size piston, make sure to match piston
with cylinder as follows.
a) Each piston has stamped number (1 or 2) on its piston
head. It represents outer diameter of piston.
b) There are also stamped numbers of 1 and 2 on the cylinder
block as shown in the figure.
c) Stamped number on piston and cylinder block must corre-
spond. That is, install number “2” stamped piston to cylinder
which is stamped also number “2” and a number “1” piston
to cylinder with number “1”.
Also, a letter A, B or C is stamped on piston head but ordi-
narily it is not necessary to distinguish each piston by this
letter.

2) Install piston pin to piston and connecting rod :
After applying engine oil to piston pin and piston pin holes in
piston and connecting rod, fit connecting rod to piston as
shown in the figure and insert piston pin to piston and con-
necting rod, and install piston pin circlips. Number at the top (mark) Outer diameter

3) Install piston rings to piston :
•As shown in the figure, 1st and 2nd rings have “RN” or “R”
mark respectively. When installing these piston rings to pis-
ton, direct marked side of each ring toward top of piston.
•1st rings differs from 2nd ring in thickness, shape and color
of surface contacting cylinder wall.
Distinguish 1st ring from 2nd ring by referring to the figure.
•When installing oil ring, install spacer first and then 2 rails.
4) After installing three rings (1st, 2nd and oil rings), distribute
their end gaps as shown in the figure. NOTE:
Install circlip with its cut part facing as shown in the
figure.
Install so that circlip end gap comes within such range
as indicated by arrow “A”.
