b. Remove the connecting rod bearing from the connecting rod.





6. REMOVE PISTON RING SET
a. Using a piston ring expander, remove the 2 compression rings.
b. Remove the 2 side rails and oil ring by hand.





7. REMOVE W/PIN PISTON SUB-ASSY
a. Using a small screwdriver, pry out the 2 snap rings.





b. Heat the piston to 80 - 90°C (176 - 194°F).





c. Using a plastic hammer and brass bar, lightly tap out the piston pin and remove the connecting rod.

HINT:
- The piston and pin are a matched set.
- Arrange the piston, pins, ring, connecting rod and bearings in the correct order.





8. REMOVE CRANKSHAFT
a. Remove the 10 bolts.





b. Uniformly loosen the 10 bearing cap bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown in the illustration.
SST 09011-38121





c. Using a screwdriver, remove the bearing cap by prying the indicated portions between the cylinder block and bearing cap.

NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the contact surfaces of the cylinder block and bearing cap.





d. Remove the crankshaft from the cylinder block.





9. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT THRUST CLEARANCE
a. Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while prying the crankshaft back and forth with a screwdriver.
Standard thrust clearance: 0.04 - 0.24 mm (0.0016 - 0.0095 inch)
Maximum thrust clearance: 0.30 mm (0.0118 inch)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, measure the thrust washer thickness.
If the thickness is not specified, replace the thrust washer.
Thrust washer thickness: 2.430 - 2.480 mm (0.0957 - 0.0976 inch).





10. REMOVE CRANKSHAFT THRUST WASHER UPPER
a. Remove the 2 crankshaft thrust washers from the cylinder block.





11. REMOVE CRANKSHAFT BEARING
a. Remove the 5 crankshaft bearings from the cylinder block.

NOTICE: Arrange the main bearings and thrust washers in the correct order.





b. Remove the 5 crankshaft bearings from the bearing cap.

NOTICE: Arrange the main bearings and thrust washers in the correct order.

12. REMOVE STUD BOLT





a. Using torx socket wrench E5 and E7, remove the 9 stud bolts.





13. INSPECT CYLINDER BLOCK FOR FLATNESS
a. Using a precision straight edge and feeler gauge, measure the surface contacting the cylinder head gasket for warpage.
Maximum warpage: 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch)
If the warpage is greater than maximum, replace the cylinder block.





14. INSPECT CYLINDER BORE
a. Using a cylinder gauge, measure the cylinder bore diameter at positions A, B and C in the thrust and axial directions.
Standard diameter: 79.000 - 79.013 mm (3.1102 - 3.1108 inch)
Maximum diameter: 79.013 mm (3.1108 inch)
