   Torque:

   20 N*m{204 kgf*cm, 15 ft.*lbf}

   NOTICE:

   Do not turn the crankshaft.

Step 2:

1. Mark the front of the connecting rod cap bolts with paint.
   

2. Tighten the cap bolts 90° as shown in the illustration.
   

   NOTICE:

   Do not turn the crankshaft.

Remove the 2 bolts and connecting rod cap.

HINT:

Keep the lower bearing inserted in the connecting rod cap.

Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.

Standard oil clearance:

0.014 to 0.038 mm (0.000551 to 0.00150 in.)

Maximum oil clearance:

0.070 mm (0.00276 in.)

NOTICE:

Remove the Plastigage completely after the measurement.

HINT:

If replacing a bearing, replace it with one that has the same number as its respective connecting rod cap. Each bearing standard thickness is indicated by a 1, 2, or 3 mark on its surface.

Standard Connecting Rod Large End Bore Diameter:

Item	Specified Condition
Mark 1	50.000 to 50.008 mm (1.9685 to 1.9688 in.)
Mark 2	50.009 to 50.016 mm (1.9689 to 1.9691 in.)
Mark 3	50.017 to 50.024 mm (1.9692 to 1.9694 in.)

Standard Connecting Rod Bearing Thickness:

Item	Specified Condition
Mark 1	1.489 to 1.493 mm (0.05862 to 0.05878 in.)
Mark 2	1.494 to 1.497 mm (0.05882 to 0.05894 in.)
Mark 3	1.498 to 1.501 mm (0.05898 to 0.05909 in.)

Standard crankshaft pin diameter:

46.992 to 47.000 mm (1.8501 to 1.8504 in.)

Perform the inspection above for each cylinder.

Using a ridge reamer, remove all the carbon from the top of the cylinder.

Push the piston, connecting rod and upper bearing through the top of the cylinder block.

HINT:

1. Keep the bearing, connecting rod and cap together.
   
2. Arrange the piston and connecting rod assemblies in the correct order.
   
3. Be sure to arrange the removed piston and connecting rod assemblies in such a way that they can be reinstalled exactly as before.
   

Remove the connecting rod bearings.

HINT:

Arrange the removed parts in the correct order.

Using a piston ring expander, remove the 2 compression rings.

Remove the oil ring and oil ring expander by hand.

HINT:

Arrange the removed parts in the correct order.

Using a screwdriver, pry out the 2 snap rings.

Gradually heat each piston to approximately 80 to 90°C (176 to 194°F).

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

HINT:

1. The piston and pin are a matched set.
   
2. Arrange the pistons, pins, rings, connecting rods and bearings in the correct order.
   

Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while prying the crankshaft back and forth with a screwdriver.

Standard thrust clearance:

HINT:

1. Keep each lower bearing and crankshaft bearing cap together as a set.
   
2. Arrange the crankshaft bearing caps in the correct order.
   

NOTICE:

Insert the bolts into the caps in turn. Ease the cap out by gently pulling up and applying force toward the front and back sides of the cylinder block, as shown in the illustration. Take care not to damage the contact surfaces of the cap and cylinder block.

Lift out the crankshaft.

Check each crankshaft journal and bearing for pitting and scratches.
If the journal or bearing is damaged, replace the bearings. If necessary, replace the crankshaft.
