Thrust Bearing And Main Bearing Assembly Note

Caution

•  If the thrust bearings and main bearings are reused, assemble the bearings to the same positions and in the direction as before removal to prevent engine damage due to seizure or burning of the bearing.

•  To prevent engine damage due to seizure or burning of the bearing, apply engine oil to the sliding part when assembling.

Thrust bearing

1.  Apply clean engine oil to the thrust bearings.

2.  Assemble the bearings with the oil groove of the thrust bearing pointed toward the sliding surface.

Main bearing

1.  Apply clean engine oil to the main bearings.

2.  Align the positioning tab of the main bearing with the positioning groove of the lower and upper cylinder block, and assemble the bearings.

Plate Assembly Note

Caution

•  Placing the crankshaft on a disassembly bench will deform or damage it because the plate for the crankshaft position sensor signal detection installed to the crankshaft is larger than the counterweight. Therefore, set wood blocks or similar objects on the both sides of the crankshaft so that the plate does not contact the disassembly bench directly when placing the crankshaft on it bench.

1.  Install the plate using the following procedure:

(1)   Install the groove of the plate tooth to the position shown in the figure and temporarily tighten bolt A.

bes2ze00000037

(2)  Temporarily tighten the bolt B.

(3)  Install bolt C and tighten the bolts to the specified tightening torque in the order of C, B, and A.

Tightening torque

20—26 N·m {2.1—2.6 kgf·m, 15—19 ft·lbf}

Lower Cylinder Block Assembly Note

1.  Completely clean and remove any dirt, silicone sealant or other foreign matter that may be adhering to the upper and lower cylinder block.

2.  Degrease the contact surfaces of the lower and upper cylinder blocks.

Caution

•  Using bolts with the old seal adhering could cause cracks in the cylinder block, etc.

bes2ze00000147

3.  When reusing the lower cylinder block installation bolts, clean any old silicone sealant from the bolts.

Caution

•  Apply silicon sealant in a single, unbroken line.

•  To prevent silicon sealant from hardening, adhere the lower and upper cylinder block firmly within 10 min. after applying silicon sealant. After adhering them, tighten the installation bolts immediately.

4.  Apply silicone sealant (TB1217D or equivalent) to the lower cylinder block shown in the figure.

bes2ze00000148

5.  Install the lower cylinder block.

6.  Tighten the lower cylinder block installation bolts using the following procedure:

(1)  Apply clean engine oil to seating surface and thread of the lower cylinder block installation bolts A.

(2)  Tighten the lower cylinder block installation bolts A in the order shown in the figure using the following procedure:

bes2ze00000039

Tightening procedure

Step 1: 38—42 N·m {3.9—4.2 kgf·m, 29—30 ft·lbf}

Step 2: Loosen all the bolts (until bolts are torque-free).

Step 3: 30—34 N·m {3.1—3.4 kgf·m, 23—25 ft·lbf}

Step 4: 57.5—62.5°

(3)  Tighten the lower cylinder block installation bolts B in the order shown in the figure.

bes2ze00000040

Tightening torque

19—25 N·m {2.0—2.5 kgf·m, 15—18 ft·lbf}

7.  After verifying that silicone sealant protrudes to the rear oil seal press-in part, wipe away the excess silicone sealant.

•  If silicone sealant does not protrude to the rear oil seal press-in part, remove the lower cylinder block and apply silicone sealant again.

Piston Pin Assembly Note

1.  Remove dirt adhering to the piston pin.

2.  Apply engine oil to the piston pin.

Caution

•  When assembling the piston and connecting rod, assemble the connecting rod in the correct direction.

3.  Assemble the piston and connecting rod using the following procedure:

Note

•  The connecting rod cap has a positioning boss indicating the assembly direction.

bes2ze00000041

(1)  Position so that the fractured surfaces of the connecting rods and connecting rod caps are aligned exactly, and temporarily assemble the cap to the connecting rod.

(2)  Assemble the piston and connecting rod so that the branding mark of the piston and the positioning boss of the connecting rod cap are facing the same direction.

bes2ze00000042

4.  Insert the piston pin into the piston and connecting rod.

5.  Remove the temporarily assembled connecting rod cap.

Snap Ring Assembly Note

Caution

•  Do not compress the outer diameter of the snap ring more than necessary when assembling the snap ring (25.74 mm {1.013 in} or less).

1.  Insert a new snap ring using a thin plier.

Piston Ring Assembly Note

Note

•  It is not necessary to position the piston ring end gap.

Vehicles without coolant control valve

1.  Install the oil ring.

2.  Assemble so that the identification paint marks on the top and second rings are visible to the right side of each end gap.

bes2ze00000043

Note

•  If there are no identification paint marks on the top and second rings, place the ring with the bigger inner circumference at the top as shown in the figure.

bes2ze00000044

Vehicles with coolant control valve

1.  Assemble so that the identification paint marks on the piston rings are visible to the right side of each end gap.

bes2ze00000149

Note

•  If there is no identification paint mark, assemble the piston ring with the laser mark of the piston ring facing up.

Connecting Rod Bearing Assembly Note

Caution

•  If a connecting rod bearing is reused, assemble it to the same position and in the direction as before removal to prevent engine damage due to seizure or burning of the bearing.

•  To prevent engine damage due to seizure or burning of the bearing, apply engine oil to the sliding part when assembling.

1.  Apply engine oil to the connecting rod bearing.

2.  Align the positioning tab of the connecting rod bearing with the positioning groove of the connecting rod and connecting rod cap, and assemble the bearings.

bes2ze00000045

Piston, Connecting Rod Assembly Note

1.  Remove the dirt adhering to the piston.

2.  Apply engine oil to the sliding part.

3.  Insert the piston into the cylinder with the mark on top of the piston facing the intake side.

Connecting Rod Cap Assembly Note

1.  Measure the length of the connecting rod cap bolt.

•  If it exceeds the maximum specification, replace the connecting rod cap bolt.

bes2ze00000197

Caution

•  When assembling the connecting rod caps, align the broken, rough faces of the connecting rods and connecting rod caps.

2.  Position so that the broken, rough faces of the connecting rods and connecting rod caps are aligned exactly, and assemble the connecting rod caps.

3.  Tighten the connecting rod cap bolts in the following two steps.
