23. Install a bolt of suitable length (M10 ? P1.25) at the locations shown in the figure.

NOTE:

• This procedure is required to prevent the knock pin damage when the cylinder block is raised in the next step.

• Use the same length of bolt for the four bolts.

24. Raise the cylinder block so that the rear oil seal is on the lower side.

25. Remove the #1 and #4 connecting rod caps and pistons from the cylinder block.

NOTE:

Mark each connecting rod cap and piston with a cylinder number.

(1) Turn the crankshaft so that the #1 connecting rod cap (A) and #4 connecting rod cap (B) is located at the position shown in the figure using ST.

(2) Using ST, loosen the #1 connecting rod cap bolt, and remove the #1 connecting rod cap bolt and #1 connecting rod cap.

(3) Using ST, loosen the #4 connecting rod cap bolt, and remove the #4 connecting rod cap bolt and #4 connecting rod cap.

(4) Using the ST, turn the crankshaft counterclockwise and separate the positions of the #1 pin (A) of crankshaft and the large end (B) of #1 connecting rod.

(5) Push the #1 connecting rod in the direction of the arrow, and remove the #1 piston with #1 connecting rod from the cylinder block.

(6) Using the ST, turn the crankshaft clockwise and separate the positions of the #4 pin (A) of crankshaft and the large end (B) of #4 connecting rod.

(7) Push the #4 connecting rod in the direction of the arrow, and remove the #4 piston with #4 connecting rod from the cylinder block.

26. Remove the #2 and #3 connecting rod caps and pistons from the cylinder block.

NOTE:

Mark each connecting rod cap and piston with a cylinder number.

(1) Turn the crankshaft so that the #2 connecting rod cap (A) and #3 connecting rod cap (B) is located at the position shown in the figure using ST.

(2) Using ST, loosen the #2 connecting rod cap bolt, and remove the #2 connecting rod cap bolt and #2 connecting rod cap.

(3) Using ST, loosen the #3 connecting rod cap bolt, and remove the #3 connecting rod cap bolt and #3 connecting rod cap.

(4) Using the ST, turn the crankshaft clockwise and separate the positions of the #2 pin (A) of crankshaft and the large end (B) of #2 connecting rod.

(5) Push the #2 connecting rod in the direction of the arrow, and remove the #2 piston with #2 connecting rod from the cylinder block.

(6) Using the ST, turn the crankshaft counterclockwise and separate the positions of the #3 pin (A) of crankshaft and the large end (B) of #3 connecting rod.

(7) Push the #3 connecting rod in the direction of the arrow, and remove the #3 piston with #3 connecting rod from the cylinder block.

27. Set the cylinder block so that the oil pan side faces upward, and remove the mounting bolts attached to the locations shown in the figure.

28. Set the part so that the cylinder block RH is on the upper side, and separate the cylinder block.

CAUTION:

• Place a wood board wrapped with a waste cloth to prevent the knock pin damage and to stabilize the cylinder block before work.

• Be careful not to scratch the mating surface of cylinder block during work.

(1) Remove the bolt shown in the figure.

(2) Loosen the cylinder block mounting bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure, and separate the cylinder block RH and LH.

NOTE:

Lift the cylinder block RH slightly, and confirm that the crankshaft is remaining in the cylinder block LH. If the cylinder block RH is lifted carelessly when separating, the crankshaft may stick to cylinder block RH, then fall off.

29. Remove the crankshaft from cylinder block LH, and remove the rear oil seal.

30. Remove the O-ring from the cylinder block LH.

31. Remove the crankshaft bearings from the cylinder block.

NOTE:
