Engine Block: Reassembly
NOTE:
- Thoroughly clean all parts to assembled.
- Before installing the parts, apply fresh engine oil to all sliding and rotating surfaces.
- Replace all gaskets, O-rings and oil seals with new parts.
- Assemble piston and connecting rod.
- Use a hydraulic press for installation.
- The piston front mark and the connecting rod front mark must face the timing belt side of the engine.
- Install piston rings.
- Install the oil ring expander and 2 side rails by hand.
- Using a piston ring expander, install the 2 compression rings with the code mark facing upward.
- Position the piston rings so that the ring ends are as shown.
- Install connecting rod bearings.
- Align the bearing claw with the groove of the connecting rod or connecting rod cap.
- Install the bearings (A) in the connecting rod and connecting rod cap (B).
- Install main bearings.NOTE: Upper 1,2,4,5 bearings have an oil groove of oil holes; Lower bearings do not.
- Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the cylinder block, push in the 5 upper bearings (A).
- Align the bearing claw with the claw groove of the main bearing cap, and push in the 5 lower bearings.
- Install thrust bearings.
Install the 2 thrust bearings (A) under the No.3 journal position of the cylinder block with the oil grooves facing outward.
- Place crankshaft on the cylinder block.
- Place main bearing caps on cylinder block.
- Install main bearing cap bolts.NOTE:
- The main bearing cap bolts are tightened in 2 progressive steps.
- If any of the bearing cap bolts in broken or deformed, replace it.
- Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the bearing cap bolts.
- Install and uniformly tighten the 10 bearing cap bolts (A), in several passes, in the sequence shown.
Tightening torque: 30Nm (300kgf.cm, 22lbf.ft)
- Retighten the bearing cap bolts by 60°~65° in the numerical order shown.
Tightening torque
- Main bearing cap bolt:
- 30Nm (300kgf.cm, 22lbf.ft) + 60° ~ 65°
- Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.
- Check crankshaft end play. See Figure.
- Install piston and connecting rod assemblies.NOTE: Before installing the pistons, apply a coat of engine oil to the ring grooves and cylinder bores.
- Remove the connecting rod caps, and slip short sections of rubber hose over the threaded ends of the connecting rod bolts.
- Install the ring compressor, check that the bearing is securely in place, then position the piston in the cylinder, and tap it in using the wooden handle of a hammer.
- Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and check the connecting rod-to-check journal alignment before pushing the piston into place.
- Apply engine oil to the bolt threads. Install the rod caps with bearings, and torque the nuts : 50 ~ 53Nm (500 ~ 530kgf.cm, 36.9 ~ 39lbf.ft)
NOTE: Maintain downward force on the ring compressor to prevent the rings from expanding before entering the cylinder bore. - Install a new gasket and rear oil seal case (A) with 5 bolts (B).
Tightening torque
- 10 ~ 12Nm (100 ~ 120kgf.cm, 7.3 ~ 8.8lbf.ft)
NOTE: Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry. - Install rear oil seal.
- Apply engine oil to a new oil seal lip.
- Using SST (09231-21000) and a hammer, tap in the oil seal until its surface is flush with the rear oil seal retainer edge.
- Install front case. See Figure.
- Install oil screen.
Install a new gasket (B) and oil screen (A) with 2 bolts (C).
Tightening torque
- 15 ~ 22Nm (150 ~ 220kgf.cm, 11 ~ 16lbf.ft)
- Install oil pan.
- Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old packing material from the gasket surfaces.NOTE: Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry before applying liquid gasket.
- Apply liquid gasket as an even bead, centered between the edges of the mating surface.
Use liquid gasket MS 721-40A or equivalent.
NOTE:- To prevent leakage of oil, apply liquid gasket to the inner threads of the bolt holes.
- Do not install the parts if five minutes or more have elapsed since applying the liquid gasket. Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing the residue.
- After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
- Install the oil pan (A) with the 19 bolts.
Uniformly tighten the bolts in several passes.
Tightening torque
- 10 ~ 12Nm (100 ~ 120kgf.cm, 7.3 ~ 8.8lbf.ft)
- Install water pump. See Water Pump .
- Install oil pressure sensor.
- Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads.
Adhesive : MS 721-39(B) or equivalent.
- Install the oil pressure sensor (A).
Tightening torque
- 15 ~ 22Nm (150 ~ 220kgf.cm, 11 ~ 16lbf.ft)
- Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads.
- Install knock sensor (A).
Tightening torque
- 17 ~ 27Nm (170 ~ 270kgf.cm, 12.5 ~ 20lbf.ft)
- Install oil level gauge assembly.
- Install a new O-ring on the oil level gauge.
- Apply engine oil on the O-ring.
- Install the oil level gauge assembly (A) with the bolt.
Tightening torque
- 12 ~ 15Nm (120 ~ 150kgf.cm, 9 ~ 11lbf.ft)
- Install cylinder head. See INSTALLATION under CYLINDER HEAD ASSEMBLY.
