ENGINE OVERHAUL - Piston and Connecting Rod 11B-61 4. If there is no identification, measure the oil clearance and select. " FA CONNECTING ROD CAP INSTALLATION 1. Align the marks made during disassembly, and install the bearing cap onto the connecting rod. When using a new connecting rod that has no match marks, assemble so that the bearing rotation-preventing notch comes to the same side as shown in the illustration. 2. The plasticity range tightening method is adopted for the connecting rod bolt and nut, so elongate and inspect the bolt before reusing it. Inspect that the bolt is elongated to the extent that the nut can be screwed onto the last thread when screwed by hand. If the nut cannot be screwed on smoothly to the end, the bolt threads are elongated and the bolt must be replaced. 3. Apply engine oil on the nut’s threads and seat surface before installing the nut. 4. After installing each nut onto the bolt with fingers, alternately tighten the nuts to assemble the cap correctly. 5. Tighten the nut at a 20 N•m torque. 6. Make a paint mark on the head of the nut. 7. Using the position of the mark painted on the nut as reference, make paint marks on the bolt at the 90_ to 94_ positions in the nut tightening direction. 8. Tighten the nut between 90_ and 94_, and confirm that the paint marks on the nut and bolt match. If the tightening angle is less than 90_, the connection performance may not be attained, so take special care to the tightening angle when tightening. If the tightening angle is larger than 94_, completely loosen the nut and start again from step 1. Cylinder No. Rotation- preventing notch Paint marks 90_ - 94_ Paint marks Nut Bolt |
