NOTICE:
^ Be careful not to drop the plate washers into the cylinder head.
^ Head warpage or cracking could result from removing the bolts in the wrong order.





(b) Remove the cylinder head from the cylinder block.





27. REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD GASKET
(a) Remove the cylinder head gasket from the cylinder block.





28. REMOVE OIL FILTER SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Using SST, remove the oil filter.
SST 09228-06501





29. REMOVE OIL FILTER UNION
(a) Using a socket hexagon wrench 12, remove the oil filter union.





30. REMOVE ENGINE REAR OIL SEAL
(a) Using a knife, cut off the oil seal lip.
(b) Using a screwdriver with its tip wrapped with tape, pry out the oil seal.

NOTICE: After removing, check the crankshaft for damage. If damaged, smooth the surface with 400-grit sandpaper.





31. REMOVE OIL PAN DRAIN PLUG
(a) Remove the oil pan drain plug and gasket from the oil pan.





32. REMOVE OIL PAN SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Remove the 14 bolts and 2 nuts.





(b) Insert the blade of SST between the bearing cap and oil pan, then cut off the applied sealer and remove the oil pan.
SST 09032-00100

NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the oil pan contact surface of the bearing cap and oil pan.





33. REMOVE OIL STRAINER SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Remove the bolt and 2 nuts, then remove the oil strainer.





34. REMOVE OIL STRAINER FLANGE GASKET
(a) Remove the gasket from the cylinder block.





35. REMOVE CYLINDER BLOCK WATER DRAIN COCK SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Remove the cylinder block water drain cock from the cylinder block.





36. CHECK CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE
(a) Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while moving the connecting rod back and forth.
Standard thrust clearance: 0.160 to 0.342 mm (0.0063 to 0.0135 in.)
Maximum thrust clearance: 0.342 mm (0.0135 in.)
^ If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, replace the connecting rod.
^ If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
37. CHECK CONNECTING ROD OIL CLEARANCE

NOTICE: Do not turn the crankshaft during the measurement.





(a) Using marking paint, write the matched cylinder number on each connecting rod and cap.

HINT: The matchmarks on the connecting rods and caps are for ensuring the correct reassembly.





(b) Using SST, remove the 2 bolts and connecting rod cap.
SST 09205-16010
(c) Clean the crank pin and bearing.
(d) Check the crank pin and bearing for pitting and scratches.





(e) Lay a strip of the Plastigage across the crank pin.





(f) Check that the front mark of the connecting rod cap is facing in the correct direction.
(g) Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads and under the heads of the connecting rod cap bolts.





(h) Using SST, tighten the bolts in several passes to the specified torque.
SST 09205-16010
Torque: 20 N*m (204 kgf*cm, 15 ft.*lbf)





(i) Mark the front of the connecting cap bolts with paint.
(j) Retighten the cap bolts by 90° as shown in the illustration.
(k) Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.





(l) Remove the 2 bolts and connecting rod cap.





(m) Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.
Standard oil clearance: 0.028 to 0.060 mm (0.0011 to 0.0024 in.)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.080 mm (0.0032 in.)

NOTICE: Remove the Plastigage completely after the measurement.

^ If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the connecting rod bearing.
^ If necessary, grind or replace the crankshaft.





HINT:
^ The TAIHO mark is either on the claw side or the opposite side.
^ If replacing a bearing, select a new one with the same number as marked on the connecting rod bearing cap. There are 3 sizes of standard bearings, marked "1", "2" and "3" accordingly.








38. REMOVE CONNECTING ROD SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Using a ridge reamer, remove all carbon from the top of the cylinder.
(b) Push the piston, connecting rod assembly and upper bearing through the top of the cylinder block.

HINT:
^ Keep the bearing, connecting rod and cap together.
^ Arrange the piston and connecting rod assemblies in the correct order.





39. REMOVE CONNECTING ROD BEARING
(a) Remove the connecting rod bearing from the connecting rod cap.





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





40. 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.





41. REMOVE W/PIN PISTON SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Using a small screwdriver, pry out the 2 snap rings.





(b) Gradually heat the piston up to 80 to 90°C (176 to 194°F).





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

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