11.
INSTALL THE PISTON.
(1)
Apply engine oil to the piston, cylinder liner and connecting rod bear-
ing, then compress the piston ring using the special tool.
SST: Piston ring holder (S0944-11370)
NOTICE
•
When installing the piston, be careful that the cooling jet is not
struck by the connecting rod.
•
Make sure that the hollow-mark on the piston is at the exhaust
side.
(2)
Insert the piston into the cylinder liner.
12.
TIGHTEN THE CONNECTING ROD BOLT.
(1)
Measure the length of the bolts, if the length is A or more, replace with
new bolts.
(2)
Apply clean engine oil to the bolt thread and the bolt seat surface of
the connecting rod cap.
(3)
Tighten the connecting rod bolt to the specified torque.
Tightening Torque:
69 N
m {700 kgf
cm, 51 lbf
ft}
(4)
Mark the bolt heads in the same direction with paint.
(5)
Tighten the connecting rod bolt 90
(1/4 turn).
(6)
Tighten the connecting rod bolt 45
(1/8 turn).
(7)
Make sure that the paint marks face the same direction.
NOTICE
When retightening the bolts, never adjust them by turning counter-
clockwise, even if they have been retightened more than the specified
angle above.
If the angle of bolts is adjusted to the specified angle by turning coun-
terclockwise, the axial force of the bolts might fall short and it is
feared that this could reduce the engine reliability. Also there is a pos-
sibility that this could reduce the number of times a bolt can be
reused.
