  7. Bleed air from the cooling system Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.) Turn Off the engine. Check the level in the radiator, add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the cooling system. Put the radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks.
  8. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper assemble them, then apply grease to prevent corrosion.
  9. Inspect for fuel leakage. After assemble the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes. Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.

  11. Remove the oil screen. Remove the 2bolts (C), oil screen (A) and gasket (B).
  12. Check the connecting rod end play. (Refer to «CONNECTING ROD AND CRANKSHAFT»(ref-270970-S22194336572007110800000) )
  13. Remove the connecting rod caps and check oil clearance. (Refer to «CONNECTING ROD AND CRANKSHAFT»(ref-270970-S22194336572007110800000) )
  14. Remove the piston and connecting rod assemblies. Using a ridge reamer, remove all the carbon from the top of the cylinder. Push the piston, connecting rod assembly and upper bearing through the top of the cylinder block. NOTE: Keep the bearings, connecting rod and cap together. Arrange the piston and connecting rod assemblies in the correct order.
  15. Remove the front case. (Refer to «OIL PUMP»(ref-270970-S16478491552007110800000) )
  16. Remove the rear oil seal case. Remove the 5bolts (B) and rear oil seal case (A).
  17. Remove the crankshaft bearing cap and check oil clearance. (Refer to «CONNECTING ROD BEARING SELECTION TABLE»(ref-270970-S12467042002007110800000) )
  18. Check the crankshaft end play. (Refer to «CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARING SELECTION TABLE»(ref-270970-S23982504322007110800000) )
  19. Lift the crankshaft (A) out of the engine, being careful not to damage journals. NOTE: Arrange the main bearings and thrust bearings in the correct order.
  20. Check fit between piston and piston pin. Try to move the piston back and forth on the piston pin. If any movement is felt, replace the piston and pin as a set.
  21. Remove the piston rings. Using a piston ring expender, remove the 2 compression rings. Remove the 2 side rails and oil ring by hand. NOTE: Arrange the piston rings in the correct order only.
  22. Remove the connecting rod from the piston. Using a press, remove the piston pin from piston. (Press-in load: 500~1,500kg (1,102~3,306lb))

  1. Check the connecting rod end play. Using feeler gauge, measure the end play while moving the connecting rod back and forth. End play Standard: 0.1~0.25mm (0.0039~0.0098in) Maximum: 0.4mm (0.0157in) If out-of-tolerance, install a new connecting rod. If still out-of-tolerance, replace the crankshaft.
  2. Check the connecting rod bearing oil clearance. Check the match marks on the connecting rod and cap are aligned to ensure correct reassembly. Remove the 2 connecting rod cap nuts. Remove the connecting rod cap and lower bearing. Clean the crankshaft pin journal and bearing. Place a plastigage across the crankshaft pin journal. Reinstall the lower bearing and cap, and tighten the nuts. Tightening torque: 31.4~34.3N.m (3.2~3.5kgf.m, 23.1~25.3lb-ft) NOTE: Do not turn the crankshaft. Remove the 2nuts, connecting rod cap and lower bearing. Measure the plastigage at its widest point. Standard oil clearance 0.018~0.036mm (0.0007~0.0014in) If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow, remove the upper and lower bearing and then install a new bearings with the same color mark. (Refer to , «CONNECTING ROD BEARING SELECTION TABLE»(ref-270970-S12467042002007110800000) ) Recheck the oil clearance. CAUTION: Do not File, shim, of scrape the bearings or the caps to adjust clearance. If the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing. (Refer to , «CONNECTING ROD BEARING SELECTION TABLE»(ref-270970-S12467042002007110800000) ) Recheck the oil clearance. NOTE: If the proper clearance cannot be obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings, replace the crankshaft and start over. CAUTION: If the marks are indecipherable because of an accumulation of dirt and dust, do not scrub them with a wire brush or scraper. Clean them only with solvent or detergent.

OIL AND FILTER REPLACEMENT

CAUTIONProlonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural fats from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer. Exercise caution in order to minimize the length and frequency of contact of your skin to used oil. Wear protective clothing and gloves. Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water, or use water-less hand cleaner, to remove any used engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinners, or solvents. In order to preserve the environment, used oil and used oil filter must be disposed of only at designated disposal sites.
  1. Drain the engine oil. Remove the oil filler cap. Remove the oil drain plug, and drain the oil into a container.
  2. Replace the oil filter. Remove the oil filter. Check and clean the oil filter installation surface. Check the part number of the new oil filter is as same as old one. Apply clean engine oil to the gasket of a new oil filter. Lightly screw the oil filter into place, and tighten it until the gasket contacts the seat. Tighten it an additional 3/4 turn.
  3. Refill with engine oil. Clean and install the oil drain plug with a new gasket. Tightening torque: 39.2~44.1 N.m (4.0~4.5kgf.m, 28.9~32.5lb-ft) Fill with fresh engine oil. Oil Capacity Total: 3.3 L (3.49 US qt, 2.90 lmp qt) Oil pan: 3.0 L (3.17 US qt, 2.64 lmp qt) Oil filter: 0.3 L (0.32 US qt, 0.26 lmp qt) Install the oil filler cap.
  4. Start engine and check for oil leaks.
  5. Recheck the engine oil level.
