4. Measure dimensions of movement amounts A and B on circumference of the flywheel on the transmission side. Standard: 24 mm (0.94 in) or less When measured value is outside the standard, replace flywheel.

1. Install new snap ring on one side of piston pin hole.
2. Heat piston to 60 to 70°C (140 to 158°F) and assemble piston, piston pin, connecting rod and new snap ring. Align the direction of piston and connecting rod. Numbers stamped on connecting rod and cap correspond to each cylinder. After assembly, make sure connecting rod swings smoothly.
3. Set piston rings as shown. CAUTION: When piston rings are not replaced, make sure that piston rings are mounted in their original positions. When replacing piston rings, those without punchmarks present can be mounted with either side up. Align piston rings so that end gaps are positioned as shown in the figure.

1. Set main bearings in their proper positions on cylinder block and main bearing beam. Confirm that correct main bearings are used. Refer to "Inspection" of this section.
2. Instructions for re-use of main bearing cap bolts. A plastic zone tightening method is used for tightening main bearing cap bolts. Measure d1 and d2 as shown in the figure. d2: Select minimum diameter in the measuring area. If the difference between d1 and d2 exceeds the limit, replace the bolts with new ones. Limit (d1 - d2): 0.11 mm (0.0043 in)
3. After installing crankshaft, main bearing cap, main bearing beam and bearing cap bolts, tighten bearing cap bolts in numerical order as shown. Make sure that the front mark on the main bearing beam faces the front of the engine. Tightening procedure Tighten all bolts to 32 to 38 N.m (3.3 to 3.9 kg-m, 24 to 28 ft-lb). Turn all bolts 90 to 95 degrees clockwise with angle wrench. Prior to tightening bearing cap bolts, place bearing beam in its proper position by shifting crankshaft in the axial direction. After securing bearing cap bolts, make sure crankshaft turns smoothly by hand. Lubricate threads and seat surfaces of the bolts with new engine oil.
4. Measure crankshaft end play. Crankshaft end play: Standard 0.10 - 0.25 mm (0.0039 - 0.0098 in) Limit 0.30 mm (0.0118 in) If beyond the limit, replace bearing with a new one.
5. Install connecting rod bearings in connecting rods and connecting rod caps. Confirm that correct bearings are used.
6. Install pistons with connecting rods. Install them into corresponding cylinders with Tool. Be careful not to scratch cylinder wall with the connecting rod. Arrange so that front mark on piston head faces toward engine front. Install connecting rod caps. Lubricate threads and seat surfaces with new engine oil. Install so that the cylinder number stamped on the connecting rod agrees with that stamped on cap side. Make sure that front mark on the connecting rod cap faces the front of the engine. Re-use connecting rod cap bolts as follows. Make sure that the bolts can be smoothly screwed-in to the end manually. If not, measure the outer diameter "d" shown in the figure. Outer diameter "d" of connecting rod cap bolt: Standard 7.90 - 8.00 mm (0.3110 - 0.3150 in) Limit 7.75 mm (0.3051 in) Tighten connecting rod cap bolts to the specified torque. Connecting rod cap bolt: (1) Tighten nuts to 19 to 21 N.m (1.9 to 2.1 kg-m, 14 to 15 ft-lb). (2) Turn nuts 90 to 95 degrees clockwise with angle wrench.
7. Measure connecting rod side clearance. Connecting rod side clearance: Standard 0.20 - 0.35 mm (0.0079 - 0.0138 in) Limit 0.40 mm (0.0157 in) If beyond the limit, replace connecting rod and/or crankshaft.
8. Install rear oil seal retainer.

1. Remove pilot converter using tool or suitable tool.
2. Install pilot bushing or pilot converter as shown.

Drive Plate

Install drive plate.

Scheme 274

1. Install the drive plate and reinforce plate in the direction shown in the figure.
2. Secure the crankshaft using a ring gear stopper.
3. Tighten the installation bolts crosswise over several times.
