Using a screwdriver, install a new snap ring at one end of the piston pin hole.

HINT:

Make sure that the end gap of the snap ring is not aligned with the service hole cutout portion of the piston.

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

Align the front marks of the piston and connecting rod, insert the connecting rod into the piston, and then push in the piston pin with your thumb until the pin comes into contact with the snap ring.

HINT:

The piston and pin are a matched set.

Using a screwdriver, install a new snap ring on the other end of the piston pin hole.

HINT:

Make sure that the end gap of the snap ring is not aligned with the pin hole cutout portion of the piston.

Check the fitting condition between the piston and piston pin by trying to move the piston back and forth on the piston pin.

Install the oil ring expander and oil ring by hand.

NOTICE:

1. Install the expander and oil ring so that their ring ends are at opposite sides.
   
2. Securely install the expander to the inner groove of the oil ring.
   

Using a piston ring expander, install the 2 compression rings so that the paint marks are positioned as shown in the illustration.

NOTICE:

1. Install the No. 1 compression ring with the code mark (T) facing upward.
   
2. Install the No. 2 compression ring with the code mark (2T) facing upward.
   
3. Paint marks can only be checked on new piston rings. When reusing piston rings, check each piston ring profile in order to install them into the correct positions.
   

Position the piston rings so that the ring ends are as shown in the illustration.

Install the upper bearing (except No. 3 journal).

1. Install the upper bearing to the cylinder block.
   

   HINT:

   Both sides of the oil groove in the cylinder block should be visible through the oil feed holes in the bearing. The amount visible on each side of the holes should be equal.

2. Using a scale, measure the distance between the cylinder block edge and the upper bearing edge.

   Dimension (A):

   0.5 to 1.0 mm (0.0197 to 0.0394 in.)
   

   NOTICE:

   Do not apply engine oil to the bearings or the contact surfaces.

Install the upper bearing (for No. 3 journal).

1. Install the upper bearing to the cylinder block.
   

   HINT:

   Both sides of the oil groove in the cylinder block should be visible through the oil feed holes in the bearing. The amount visible on each side of the holes should be equal.

2. Using a vernier caliper, measure the distance between the cylinder block edge and the upper bearing edge.

   NOTICE:

   Do not apply engine oil to the bearing or the contact surfaces.

Install the lower bearing.

1. Install the lower bearing onto the bearing cap.
   





2. Using a vernier caliper, measure the distance between the bearing cap edge and the lower bearing edge.

   NOTICE:

   Do not apply engine oil to the bearings or the contact surfaces.

Install the 2 thrust washers to the No. 3 journal position of the cylinder block with the oil grooves facing outward.

Apply engine oil to the crankshaft thrust washers.

Apply engine oil to the upper bearings and install the crankshaft to the cylinder block.

Apply engine oil to the lower bearings.

Examine the number marks and install the bearing caps to the cylinder block.

Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads and under the heads of the bearing cap bolts.

Temporarily install the 10 crankshaft bearing cap bolts.

Push on the crankshaft bearing caps with your hand until the clearance between the crankshaft bearing caps and cylinder block is less than 5 mm (0.197 in.).

Using a plastic-faced hammer, lightly tap the bearing caps to ensure a proper fit.

Install the crankshaft bearing cap bolts.

NOTICE:

The crankshaft bearing cap bolts are tightened in 2 progressive steps.

Step 1:

1. Install and uniformly tighten the 10 crankshaft bearing cap bolts in several steps in the sequence shown in the illustration.
   

   Torque:

   40 N*m{408 kgf*cm, 30 ft.*lbf}

Step 2:

1. Mark the front of the bearing cap bolts with paint.
   

2. Tighten the bearing cap bolts 90° in the sequence shown in step 1.
   

Check that the paint marks are now at a 90° angle to the front.

Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.

Check the crankshaft thrust clearance (RAV4_ACA30 RM000002XA302MX_02_0147.html).

Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rods and connecting rod caps.

Using a vernier caliper, measure the distance between the edges of the connecting rods and connecting cap bearings, and the connecting rod caps and connecting rod bearings.

Dimension A - B or B - A:

0 to 0.7 mm (0 to 0.0276 in.)

NOTICE:

Do not apply engine oil to the bearings or the contact surfaces.

Apply engine oil to the cylinder walls, pistons, and the surfaces of the connecting rod bearings.

Position the piston rings so that the ring ends are as shown in the illustration.

NOTICE:

Do not align the ring ends.

Using a piston ring compressor, push the correctly numbered piston and connecting rod assembly into the cylinder with the front mark of the piston facing forward.

NOTICE:

1. When inserting the piston with connecting rod, do not allow it to make contact with the oil nozzle.
   
2. Match the numbered connecting rod cap with the connecting rod.
   

Check that the front mark of the connecting rod cap is facing in the correct direction.

Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads and under the heads of the connecting rod cap bolts.
