6. Measure the crankshaft end play.
End play
Standard: 0.14-0.39mm (0.0055-0.0154 in)
Maximum: 0.40mm (0.016 in)
7. If the end play exceeds the maximum, grind the crankshaft
and install an oversize thrust bearing or replace the crank-
shaft and thrust bearing.
Thrust bearing width
Standard:
2.275-2.325mm (0.0896-0.0915 in)
0.178mm (0.0070 in) oversize:
2.453-2.503mm (0.0966-0.0985 in)
Piston and Connecting Rod
Caution
• Protect the connecting
rod bolts
with rubber sleeves
to prevent damage to the crankpin journal.
1. Install one piston pin clip into the clip groove in the piston.
2. Assemble the piston and the connecting rod so that the pis-
ton combustion chamber cutout and the connecting rod
mark are faces at the same side.
3. Heat the piston to 50-60°C (122-140°F).
4. Apply clean engine oil to the piston pin. .
5. Install the piston pin from the side opposite the clip.
If the pin cannot be installed smoothly, replace the piston
and/or connecting rod.
6. Install the second clip into the clip groove in the piston.
7. Check the oscillation torque of the connecting rod. If the
large end does not drop by its own weight, replace the pis-
ton, connecting rod, and/or piston pin. .
