A 1U-6684 Piston Ring Compressor 1

NOTICE
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.

1. If the connecting rod caps were temporarily installed, remove the connecting rod caps. If necessary,
thoroughly clean all the components.

2. Apply clean engine oil to the cylinder bore, to the piston rings, to the outer surface of the piston and to the
connecting rod bearings.

Note: Install the connecting rod bearings dry when clearance checks are performed. Refer to Disassembly
and Assembly, "Bearing Clearance - Check". Apply clean engine oil to the connecting rod bearings during
final assembly.

3. Rotate the crankshaft until the crankshaft pin is at the bottom center position. Lubricate the crankshaft pin
with clean engine oil.

4. Ensure that the gaps for the piston rings are at 120 degrees away from each other. Install Tooling (A) onto
piston (5). Use tape or rubber tubing on the connecting rod bolts to protect the crankshaft journals.

Note: Ensure that Tooling (A) is installed correctly and that the piston can easily slide from the tool.
Ensure that the piston and the connecting rod assembly are installed in the correct cylinder. Align number
(X) on the side of the connecting rod to the right side of the cylinder block. The right-hand side is
determined from the flywheel end of the engine.

5. Carefully push the piston and the connecting rod assembly into the cylinder bore and onto the crankshaft
pin.

Note: Do not damage the finished surface of the crankshaft pin.

6. Install connecting rod cap (2) onto connecting rod (4). Ensure that number (X) on the connecting rod cap
matches number (X) on the connecting rod. Install nuts (1).

For the C1.1 engine, tighten nuts (1) to a torque of 32 N·m (283 lb in).

For C1.5 and C2.2 engines, tighten nuts (1) to a torque of 52 N·m (38 lb ft).

7. Repeat Steps 1 through 6 for the remaining pistons and connecting rods.

8. Ensure that the installed connecting rod assembly has tactile side play. Carefully rotate the crankshaft to
ensure that there is no binding.

End By:

a. Install the suction pipe. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Pump - Install".

b. Install the cylinder head. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Cylinder Head - Install".
