NOTICE: Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as instructed in this procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if the pulley bolt is loosened. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can occur.

NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. All parts must be thoroughly cleaned and any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, can cause engine failure.

NOTE: Assembly of the engine requires various inspections/measurements of the engine components (engine block, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons and piston rings). These inspections/measurements will aid in determining if the engine components will require replacement.

18. Using the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture, measure crankshaft end play.
1. Position the crankshaft to the rear of the cylinder block.

2. Zero the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture.

3. Move the crankshaft to the front of the cylinder block. Note and record the crankshaft end play.

4. Acceptable crankshaft end play is 0.2-0.43 mm (0.008-0.017 in). If the crankshaft end play exceeds the specified range, install new parts as necessary.

20. NOTICE: Be sure not to scratch the cylinder wall or crankshaft journal with the connecting rod. Push the piston down until the connecting rod bearing seats on the crankshaft journal.

NOTE: Make sure the piston arrow on top is facing toward the front of the engine.

NOTE: Lubricate the pistons, piston rings and the entire cylinder bores with clean engine oil

Using the Piston Ring Compressor, install the 4 piston and connecting rod assemblies.
- When installing the pistons and connecting rod assemblies, the oil ring gaps must be positioned 60 degrees apart from each other and a minimum of 90 degrees from the expander gap.

- The position of the upper and lower compression ring gaps are not controlled for installation.






21. NOTICE: The rod cap installation must keep the same orientation as marked during disassembly or engine damage may occur.

Mark the Allen wrench with a file 80 mm (3.149 in) above the driven gear shaft center. Make sure the worm clamp and Allen wrench are not touching the balance shaft assembly housing.

NOTE: For an accurate measurement while measuring the gear backlash, insert a screwdriver as shown into the crankshaft No. 1 crankweight area and set both the rotation and the thrust direction with the screwdriver, using a prying action as shown.

Position the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture as shown. Measure the gear backlash.
- Position the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture (1) on the Allen wrench 80 mm (3.149 in) above the driven gear shaft center (2) on the balance shaft assembly.
