15.6 INSTALLATION OF PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD ASSEMBLY

20. Check connecting rod axial clearance by moving the rod from side to side on the crank

journal. If there is no clearance, check for proper bearing cap installation.

21. Install the remaining piston and rod assemblies in the same manner.

NOTICE:

Ensure when installing the piston spray nozzles that damage to

the nozzle does not occur. Damaged oil spray nozzles could

result in a loss of oil pressure to cool the pistons, which may

cause engine da mage.

22. Install new piston spray nozzles (1) at the base of the cylinder bores. Torque each piston

spray nozzle bolt to 30 N ·m (22 lb·ft).

23. Using a dial gauge and holder, measure the piston protrusion relative to cylinder block

top dead center at all the pistons.
