4.1 Piston Protrusion - Measure

Measure the piston protrusion, and know the current condi-
tion.
For the measurement procedure, refer to "Piston Protrusion
- Measure" of "ASSEMBLY OF BASIC ENGINE."

4.2 Connecting Rod End Play - Measure

Measure the connecting rod end play, and know the current
condition.
For the measurement procedure, refer to "Connecting Rod
End Play - Measure" of "ASSEMBLY OF BASIC
ENGINE."

4.3 Hard Carbon Deposits on the Upper Part of Cylinder Liner - Remove

Be sure to remove hard carbon deposits from the
upper part of the cylinder liner before pulling-out the
piston. Hard carbon deposits, if not removed, cause
damage to the piston and piston rings.
Remove hard carbon deposits from the upper part of cylin-
der liner with carbon remover (scraper, sandpaper, etc.)
Note: Be careful not to damage the inner surface of the cyl-
inder liner.

4.4 Connecting Rod Cap - Remove

Using a socket wrench, remove the connecting rod bolts
through the inspection window on the side of the crankcase,
and remove the connecting rod cap and connecting rod bear-
ings.
Note:(a) Be careful not to damage the connecting rod bear-
ings by dropping them into the oil pan.
(b) Make marks, such as cylinder number and upper or
lower, on the removed connecting rod bearings to
ensure the correct reassembly.
