EAS2GBB243INSTALLING THE CAMSHAFTS
1. Install:
• Exhaust camshaft “1”
• Intake camshaft “2”
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with a
wrench.
TIP
• Apply molybdenum disulfide oil to the cam-
shafts.
• Apply the engine oil on the decompression
system.
b. Align the top dead center (TDC) mark “a” on
the rotor with the alignment mark “b” on the
crankcase cover.c. Fit the timing chain “3” onto both camshaft
sprockets and install the camshafts on the
cylinder head.
TIP
Make sure that the alignment mark “c” on the
exhaust camshaft sprocket and the alignment
mark “d” on the intake camshaft sprocket are
aligned with the edge of the cylinder head.
ECA33DD029
NOTICE
Do not turn the crankshaft during the cam-
shaft installation. Damage or improper
valve timing will result.
d. Install the clips, the camshaft caps and the
bolts (camshaft cap).
TIP
• Before installing the clips, cover the cylinder
head with a clean cloth to prevent the clips
from coming off into the cylinder head cavity.
• Apply the engine oil to the threads and con-
tact surfaces.
• Tighten the bolts to the specified torque in two
or three steps in the proper tightening se-
quence as shown.

EAS2GBB257REMOVING THE PISTON
1. Remove:
• Piston pin clip “1”
• Piston pin “2”
• Piston “3”
ECA
NOTICE
Do not use a hammer to drive the piston pin
out.
TIP
• Before removing the piston pin clip, cover the
crankcase opening with a cloth to prevent the
piston pin clip from falling into the crankcase.
• Before removing the piston pin, deburr the
piston pin clip’s groove and the piston pin’s
bore area. If the piston pin groove is deburred
and the piston pin is still difficult to remove,
use the piston pin puller set “4”.
2. Remove:
• Top ring
• Oil ring
TIP
When removing a piston ring, open the end gap
with your fingers and lift the opposite end gap
of the piston ring over the piston crown.
EAS2GBB258CHECKING THE CYLINDER AND PISTON
1. Check:
• Piston wall (Sidewall)
• Cylinder wall
Vertical scratches  Replace the cylinder,
and replace the piston and piston rings as a
set.
2. Measure:
• Piston-to-cylinder clearance
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Measure the cylinder bore with the cylinder
bore gauge.

EAS2GBB259CHECKING THE PISTON RINGS
1. Measure:
• Piston ring side clearance
Out of specification  Replace the piston
and piston rings as a set.
TIP
Before measuring the piston ring side clear-
ance, eliminate any carbon deposits from the
piston ring grooves and piston rings.
2. Install:
• Piston rings
TIP
Level the piston ring into the cylinder with the
piston.
3. Measure:
• Piston ring end gap
Out of specification  Replace the piston
ring.
TIP
The oil ring expander’s end gap cannot be
measured. If the oil ring rail’s gap is excessive,
replace all three oil rings. Diameter
