Assembly

1. Connecting-rod [11]
2. Piston [10]
3. Piston pin [9]
- Apply a thin coat of engine oil to the piston pin.
Try to insert the piston pin into the piston pin hole with normal finger pressure.





NOTE:
- When changing piston/connecting rod combinations, do not change the piston/piston pin combination.
- Do not reuse the old piston pin.





- Attach the piston to the connecting rod with the piston front mark and the connecting rod mark on the same side.





- With the piston pin service set: J-24086-C, or equivalent and a press, press fit the piston pin.
- Heat the connecting rod small end to a suitable temperature to ensure smooth installation.





4. Piston ring [8]
- Install the piston rings with the piston ring expander.
The compression ring must be set with the T mark facing up.
- Install piston rings in the following sequence.
a. Oil ring
1. Expander ring
2. Upper side rail
3. Lower side rail
b. 2nd Compression ring





c. 1st compression ring
- The compression rings must be set with the T or T2 mark facing up.
1st compression ring: [T]
2nd compression ring: [T2]
- After installation, apply engine oil to the entire circumference of the piston rings. Check to see that all the rings rotate smoothly.
5. Piston and connecting rod assembly [7]
- Insert the bearings into the connecting rods and caps. Apply new engine oil to the bearing faces and nuts.
- Tighten the connecting rod cap nuts to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.)

NOTE: Do not apply engine oil to the bearing back faces and connecting rod bearing fitting surfaces.

7. Oil strainer and rubber ring [5]
8. Oil pipe and rubber ring [4]
9. Oil pan [3]
10. Cylinder head gasket [2]
11. Cylinder head assembly [1]
