System Specifications
INSTALL CRANKSHAFTa. Apply engine oil to upper bearing and install the crankshaft on the cylinder block.
b. Examine the front marks and numbers and install the bearing caps on the cylinder block.
c. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads of bearing cap bolts.
d. Temporarily install the 8 main bearing cap bolts to the inside positions.
e. Install the main bearing cap by hand, using the inner bolt as a guide. Stop the main bearing cap is about 6 mm (0.23 inch) away from mating with the block.
f. Using a plastic-faced hammer, lightly tap the bearing cap to ensure a proper fit.
g. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads of the main bearing cap bolts.
h. Using several steps, install and tighten the 16 main bearing cap bolts uniformly in the sequence shown in the illustration.
Torque: 22 Nm (224 kgf-cm, 16 ft. lbs.)
i. Mark the front side of the bearing cap bolts with paint.
j. Retighten the bearing cap bolts by 90° in the same sequence shown as step (h).
k. Check that the painted mark is now at a 90° angle to the front.
l. Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
m. Using several steps, install and tighten the 8 main bearing cap bolts uniformly in the sequence shown in the illustration.
Torque: 27 Nm (275 kgf-cm, 20 ft. lbs.)
HINT: Use the short bolt for the marked position (arrow)
INSTALL CRANKSHAFT PULLEY
Align the keyway of the pulley with the key located on the crankshaft and slide the pulley into place.
Using SST, install the pulley bolt.

Torque 220 Nm (2,250 kgf-cm, 162 ft. lbs.)
INSPECT CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while moving the connecting rod back and forth.
Standard thrust clearance 0.15 to 0.30 mm (0.0059 to 0.0118 inch)
Maximum thrust clearance 0.35 mm (0.0138 inch)
Piston diameter 91.953 to 91.967 mm (3.6202 to 3.6207 inch)
INSPECT RING GROOVE CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between new piston ring and the wall of the ring groove.
Ring groove clearance:
No.1 0.03 to 0.08 mm (0.0012 to 0.0031 inch)
No.2 0.02 to 0.06 mm (0.0008 to 0.0024 inch)
Oil 0.03 to 0.11 mm (0.0012 to 0.0043 inch)
Standard end gap:
No. 1 0.30 to 0.40 mm (0.0118 to 0.0157 inch)
No. 2 0.50 to 0.60 mm (0.0197 to 0.0236 inch)
Oil (Side rail) 0.15 to 0.40 mm (0.0059 to 0.0157 inch)
Maximum end gap:
No. 1 0.95 mm (0.0374 inch)
No. 2 1.05 mm (0.0413 inch)
Oil (Side rail) 1.00 mm (0.0394 inch)
