Engine Block: Reassembly

NOTE:
  • Thoroughly clean all parts to assembled.
  • Before installing the parts, apply fresh engine oil to all sliding and rotating surfaces.
  • Replace all gaskets, O-rings and oil seals with new parts.
  1. Assemble piston and connecting rod.
    1. Use a hydraulic press for installation.
    2. The piston front mark and the connecting rod front mark must face the timing belt side of the engine.

    2. Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
  9. Check crankshaft end play. (Refer to CRANKSHAFT JOURNAL MARK LOCATION  )
  10. Install piston and connecting rod assemblies.
    NOTE: Before installing the pistons, apply a coat of engine oil to the ring grooves and cylinder bores.
    1. Install the ring compressor, check that the bearing is securely in place, then position the piston in the cylinder, and tap it in using the wooden handle of a hammer.
    2. Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and check the connecting rod-to-check journal alignment before pushing the piston into place.
    3. Apply engine oil to the bolt threads. Install the rod caps with bearings, and torque the bolts.

      Tightening torque 

      19.6 Nm (2.0 kgf.m, 14.46 lb-ft) + 90°

      Use SST (09221-4A000), install connecting rod bearing cap bolts.
