PISTON RING END GAP
Prior to installing piston rings on each piston, install the rings within
the cylinder bore, approximately 25 mm from the top of the crankcase
deck as shown. A piston turned upside down should be used to push
the rings to the 25mm depth so that assurances of proper orientation
can be had. Use a feeler gage(A) to measure the ring end gap. The
specifications are as follows:
1st piston ring(compression) = 0.25-0.45 mm, (USEABLE Limit = 1.00 mm)
2nd piston ring(compression) = 0.25-0.45 mm, (USEABLE Limit = 1.00 mm)
3rd piston ring(oil scraper) = 0.25-0.45 mm, (USEABLE Limit = 1.00 mm)
NOTE: If the ring gap is less than the minimum value shown, gently
secure the ring in a soft jaw vise and file (small amount) the ends of the
ring, re-checking the end gap periodically until the required clearance
is achieved. Remove all burrs from the piston ring ends before
installation.
PISTON RING TO PISTON LAND CLEARANCE
With reference to the diagrams, measure the piston ring to piston land
clearance using a feeler gage. If the piston has previously been
operated within and engine, the piston should be inspected and
cleaned as described on page 36.
The specifications for piston ring to piston land clearance are as follow:
A
= 0.090 - 0.125 mm
B
= 0.050 - 0.085 mm
C
= 0.040 - 0.075 mm
Replace the piston and/or piston rings if the piston ring to piston ring
land clearance exceeds the specification.
PISTON RING ASSEMBLY LOCATION
With reference to the diagram, carefully install the piston rings onto
the piston.
A
= Top Compression Ring (Tapered / Torsional)
B
= No. 2 Compression Ring (Tapered / Torsional)
C
= Oil Control Ring (Internal Spring, 2 piece Ring)
D
= Chrome Plated Portion of Top Compression Ring
E
= Chrome Plated Portion of Oil Control Ring
NOTE: As shown on the diagram, install the rings so that the word
“top”, “UP” or any other markings faces up.
CONNECTING ROD / CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS
SPECIFICATIONS
INSPECTION / SET-UP: Remove the connecting rod cap. Remove the
connecting rod bearing inserts. Clean the connecting rod and bearings
in solvent, then dry with compressed air. Inspect the connecting rod
for nicks, gouges and potential stress risers. Inspect the wrist pin
bushing for scratches and indications of galling or overheating. Discard
the connecting rod if any doubt concerning the general condition of
the connecting rod exists. Inspect the connecting rod bearings for
wear, dis-coloration, scatches and grooves. Discard the connecting
rod bearings if any doubt exists. Install the connecting rod bearing
inserts (whether new or existing) into the connecting rod, then torque
the connecting rod cap. See page 41 for connecting rod cap orientation
and torque specifications. The following provides dimensional
specifications for a fully assembled (with bearings) and torque
connecting rod. Replace the connecting rod and/or connecting rod
bearings if dimension conformance to the following is not shown.
Dim. SPECIFICATION NOTES
A
= 126.48 - 126.520 mm
B
= 18.015 - 18.025 mm BF4M 1008 = 20.015 - 20.025
C
= 40.021 - 40.050 mm (Cap Torqued to 40 Nm)
D
= 17.996 - 18.000 mm BF4M 1008 = 19.996 - 20.000 mm
E

B-D
= 0.015 - 0.039 mm USEABLITY Limit = 0.060
NOTE: If the small end bushing is replaced, the lubrication hole must
be aligned
