For further details, refer to their respective procedures.

Scheme 252

Scheme 252: Cylinder Block
  1. Visually check the cylinder block for scores, rust and corrosion. Also check for cracks or any other defects. Repair or replace the block if defective.
  2. Measure the cylinder bore with a cylinder gauge at the three levels indicated in the directions of A and B as shown in illustration. Level 1: No.1 piston ring position with piston at TDC Level 2: Center of cylinder Level 3: Bottom of cylinder
  3. If the cylinder bores show more than the specified out-of-round or taper, or if the cylinder walls are badly scuffed or scored, the cylinder block should be re-bored and honed. New oversize pistons and rings should be installed. Standard value Cylinder bore : [2.4L] 84.00-84.04 mm (3.3071-3.3087 in.) [2.7L] 86.7 mm (3.41 in) Out-of-roundness and taper of cylinder bore : Max. 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.)
  4. If a ridge exists at the top of the cylinder, cut it away with a ridge reamer.
  5. Oversize pistons are available in two sizes. Piston service size and mark mm (in.) 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) O.S. : 0.25 mm 0.50 mm (0.020 in.) O.S. : 0.50 mm
  6. To rebore the cylinder to the oversize, keep the specified clearance between the oversize piston and the bore, and make sure that all pistons used are of the same oversize. The standard measurement of the piston outside diameter is taken at a level 12 mm (0.47 in.) above the bottom of the piston skirt and across the thrust faces. Piston-to-cylinder wall clearance : 0.010-0.030 mm (0.0004-0.0012 in.)
  7. Check for damage or cracks in the cylinders.
  8. Check the top surface of the cylinder block for flatness. If the top surface exceeds limits, grind to the minimum limit or replace. Standard value Flatness of gasket surface : Max. 0.03 mm (0.0012 in.) Service limit Flatness of gasket surface : 0.05 mm (0.0002 in.) CAUTION: When the cylinder head is assembled, grinding less than 0.2 mm (0.008 in.) is permissible.

Scheme 255

Scheme 255
  1. Oversize pistons used should be determined on the base of the largest bore cylinder. NOTE: Size mark is stamped on top of the piston.
  2. Measure the outside diameter of the piston to be used.
  3. On the base of the measured O.D., calculate the boring finish dimension. Boring finish dimension = Piston O.D + 0.01 to 0.03 mm (0.0004 to 0.0012 in.) (clearance between piston and cylinder) - 0.01 mm (0.0004 in.) (honing margin.)
  4. Bore each of the cylinders to the calculated size. CAUTION: To prevent distortion that may result from temperature rise during honing, bore the cylinder holes in the firing order sequence.
  5. Hone the cylinders, finishing them to the proper dimension (piston outside diameter + gap with cylinder).
  6. Check the clearance between the piston and cylinder. Standard : 0.01-0.03 mm (0.0004-0.0012 in.) NOTE: When boring the cylinders, finish all of the cylinders to the same oversize. Do not bore only one cylinder to the oversize.

Attach a cable or chain to the engine hooks, and then lift engine enough so that there is no pressure on the insulators.

  1. Remove the timing belt, cylinder head assembly, drive plate, transaxle mounting plate oil pan. For details, refer to their respective procedures.
  2. Remove the oil seal case and the rear oil seal.
  3. Remove the connecting rod caps. NOTE: Mark the main bearing caps to be able to reassemble in the original position and direction.
  4. Remove the main bearing caps and remove the crankshaft. Keep the bearings in order by cap number.

INSTALLATION

Fit O-ring in the groove provided at engine coolant inlet pipe end, wet the periphery of O-ring and insert engine coolant inlet pipe.

Note. Do not apply oils or greases to Engine coolant pipe O-ring. Keep the Engine coolant pipe connections free of sand, dust, etc. Insert Engine coolant pipe to its end bottoms. While installing the engine coolant inlet pipe, always replace the O-ring with a new one.
