ASSEMBLE PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD\n(a) Install a new snap ring on one side of the piston pin hole.\n(b) Heat the piston in hot water to approx. 60°C (140°F).\n(c) Align the notch on the piston with the mark on the rod and push the piston pin in with your thumb.\n(d) Install a new snap ring on the other side of the pin.\n\n2. PLACE RINGS ON PISTON\n(a) Using a ring expander, install the top two compression rings with the code marks facing up.\n(b) Position the piston rings so that the ring end gaps are in the shaded area as shown.\nCAUTION: Do not align the end gaps.\n\n3. INSTALL BEARINGS\n(a) Install the bearings in the connecting rods and rod caps.\n(b) Lubricate the face of the bearings with engine oil.\n\nINSPECTION AND REPAIR OF CRANKSHAFT\n\n1. MEASURE CRANKSHAFT\n(a) Place the crankshaft on V-blocks.\n(b) Using a runout gauge, measure the circle runout at the center journal.\nMaximum circle runout: 0.06 mm (0.0024 in.)\nIf the runout is greater than maximum, replace the crankshaft.\n\n(c) Using a micrometer, check the diameter of the main and crank pin journal.\nMeasure the journals for out-of-round and taper as shown.\nMain journal diameter: 59.988 — 60.012 mm\n(2.3617 — 2.3627 in.)\nCrank pin diameter: 51.976 — 52.000 mm\n(2.0463 — 2.0472 in.)\nTaper and out-of-round limit: 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.)\nIf journals are worn, regrind or replace the crankshaft.\n\nFront Mark\nFront Mark\nEM1798\n\nUpper Side Rail\nCompression Ring No. 2\nFront\nCompression Ring No. 1 & Expander\nLower Side Rail\n\nEM1412\n\nEM1751","image":"https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/images/mk2/EM/EM_053.png","url":"https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/mk2/tsrm/EM/53","prev":{"page":52,"url":"https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/mk2/tsrm/EM/52","api":"https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/52"},"next":{"page":54,"url":"https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/mk2/tsrm/EM/54","api":"https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/54"},"section_url":"https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/mk2/tsrm/EM","section_api_pages":["https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/1","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/2","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/3","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/4","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/5","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/6","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/7","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/8","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/9","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/10","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/11","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/12","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/13","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/14","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/15","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/16","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/17","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/18","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/19","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/20","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/21","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/22","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/23","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/24","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/25","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/26","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/27","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/28","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/29","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/30","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/31","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/32","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/33","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/34","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/35","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/36","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/37","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/38","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/39","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/40","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/41","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/42","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/43","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/44","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/45","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/46","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/47","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/48","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/49","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/50","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/51","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/52","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/53","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/54","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/55","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/56","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/57","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/58","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/59","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/60","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/61","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/62","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/63","https://tsrm.sasquatchvc.com/api/pages/mk2/tsrm/EM/64"],"note":"OCR transcript of a scanned Toyota factory manual page; verify critical values (torque specs, part numbers) against the image."}
