Remove Pistons & Connecting Rods
Start By:a. remove spacer plateb. remove oil pump
Keep all parts clean from contaminants. Contaminants put into the system may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
1. Remove the carbon ring and lip from the inner surface of the cylinder liner. 2. Turn the crankshaft until two of the pistons are at bottom center. Remove the nuts and bolts (1) from the connecting rods that are at bottom center. Remove connecting rod caps (2), and put identification marks on them for installation purposes.
Do not let the connecting rods hit the crankshaft or the bottom edge of the cylinder liners when the pistons are removed.
3. Push the connecting rods and pistons away from the crankshaft until the piston rings are out of the cylinder liners. Remove the two pistons from the engine.4. Keep each connecting rod cap with its respective connecting rod and piston. Put identification marks on each piston as to its location in the engine.5. Do Steps 1 through 4 for the removal of the remaining pistons.Install Pistons & Connecting Rods
1. Turn the crankshaft until the bearing journals for the pistons to be installed are at bottom center.2. Put clean engine oil on the crankshaft journals and on the inside of the cylinder liners. Put clean engine oil on the piston rings and the connecting rod bearings.3. Move the piston rings on the pistons until the ring openings are approximately 90 degreesapart. 4. Put the piston in the cylinder liner with the "V" mark on the piston in alignment with the "V" mark on the cylinder block. Put Tooling (A) in position on the cylinder block and compress the piston rings.
If the "V" mark is not visible on the piston or the cylinder block. The piston must be installed with the valve pockets positioned toward the push rod opening in the cylinder block. Damage may result if pistons are installed improper.
5. Push the piston into the cylinder liner and out of the ring compressor. 6. Pull the connecting rod into position on the crankshaft as shown. Install connecting rod bolts (1) in the connecting rods.7. Put clean engine oil on the lower half of the connecting rod bearing. Put 4C-5593 Thread Lubricanton the bolt threads and on the surfaces of the nuts that make contact with the rod caps.
When the connecting rod caps are installed, make sure the number on the side of the cap is next to and respective with the number on the side of the connecting rod.
8. Install connecting rod caps (2) and the nuts that hold them. Tighten the nuts to a torque of 41 4 N m (30 3 lb ft). Put a mark on each nut as to its location, and tighten them 90 5 degreesmore.
Do not use an impact wrench to tighten the nuts the additional 90 degrees.
9. Perform Steps 1 through 8 for the remainder of the pistons.End By:a. install oil pumpb. install spacer plateDisassemble Pistons & Connecting Rods
