CYLINDER BLOCK ASSEMBLY (I)

id011000504000

Caution
•  When replacing the piston, piston pin, and connecting rod (semi-floating type piston pin), replace them together as a single unit.
•  When disassembling the piston, piston pin, and connecting rod of the full floating type piston pin, replace the piston, piston pin, and snap ring as a single unit.
L5
•  If the crankshaft and the cylinder block are replaced with a type B from a type A as shown in the figure, replace the crankshaft and cylinder block with a type B at the same time. Otherwise, the engine could be damaged.

1.  Install the two oil control ring segments and spacer.

2.  Verify that the second ring is installed with scraper face side downward.

3.  Verify that the top ring is installed with scraper face side inner of upper.

Connecting Rod Bearing Assembly Note

1.  Install the connecting rod bearing to the connecting rod and connecting rod caps, as shown in the figure.

If engine has connecting rod bearing with positioning tab
belbze00000175
If engine has no connecting rod bearing with positioning tab
Caution
•  If there is no connecting rod bearing with positioning tabs at the large end of the connecting rod, install the connecting rod bearing so that the bearing is at the center of the connecting rod cap.

Piston Assembly Note

Note
•  It is not necessary to position the end gaps of the top ring and second ring.
•  It is not necessary to position the two-piece oil ring end gaps.

1.  Assemble the three-piece oil ring so that the three-piece oil ring end gaps do not overlap as shown in the figure.

belbze00000058

2.  Insert the piston and connecting rod into the cylinder with the arrow mark to front of the engine.

belbze00000059


Connecting Rod Cap Assembly Note

Caution
•  When assembling the connecting rod caps full floating type piston pin, align the broken, rough faces of the connecting rods and connecting rod caps.

1.  Tighten the connecting rod bolts in two steps using the SST (49 D032 316).

Tightening torque
1.  26—32 N·m {2.7—3.2 kgf·m, 19.2—23.6 ft·lbf}
2.  80°—100°


Balancer Unit Assembly Note

Caution
•  The balancer unit cannot be disassembled due to the precision interior construction of the balancer unit.

1.  Visually inspect the balancer unit gear for damage and verify that the shaft rotates smoothly.

•  If there is any malfunction, replace the balancer unit.

2.  Remove the cylinder block lower blind plug and install the SST.

belbze00000061

3.  Rotate the crankshaft in the direction of engine rotation so that the No. 1 cylinder is at top dead center (TDC). (Until the counterweight contacts the SST and stops.)

Note
•  If the cylinder block, crankshaft, crankshaft main bearing, and balancer unit are not replaced, use the adjustment shim as it is. In this case, go to Step 12.

4.  Assemble the master shims (No. 50) to the shim seating face of the balancer unit at the angles shown in the figure.

belbze00000062

Caution
•  Engage the gears slowly and place the balancer unit on the cylinder block while being careful not to contact the balancer unit gear strongly with the crankshaft drive gear and damage it.

5.  With the balancer unit marks at the exact top center positions, assemble the balancer unit to the cylinder block and tighten the bolts in a criss-cross pattern in two steps.

belbze00000063

Tightening torque
1.  25 N·m {2.6 kgf·m, 18.4 ft·lbt}
2.  39—45 N·m {4.0—4.5 kgf·m, 28.8—33.1ft·lbf}

6.  Remove the SST installed in Step 2.

7.  Measure the gear backlash using the following procedure.

(1)   Place the ATDC marks 10 °, 30 °, 100 °, 190 °, 210 °, 280 ° on the rear side of the crankshaft to indicate the angles.
(2)  Insert a flathead screwdriver into the crankshaft No.1 counterweight area and set both the rotation and the thrust direction with the flathead screwdriver, using a prying action, as shown in the figure for accurate measurement of the backlash.
belbze00000064
(3)  Set the SST and a dial gauge as shown in the figure.
belbze00000065
(4)  Rotate the driven gear to the left and right so that the crankshaft drive gear and balancer unit gear contact each other lightly.
(5)  When measuring the backlash, rotate the crankshaft one full rotation and measure the backlash at 6 locations (A to F) as shown in the figure.

8.  Select the adjustment shim from the selection table based on the measured minimum value of the backlash.
