Inspection
Connecting Rod
1.
Check the connecting rod end play.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the end play while moving the connecting rod back and forth.

End play :
Standard : 0.10~ 0.25mm (0.0039 ~ 0.0098in.)
Limit : 0.35mm (0.0138in.)

If out-of-tolerance, install a new connecting rod.
If still out-of-tolerance, replace the crankshaft.
2.
Check the connecting road bearing oil clearance.
(1)
Check the matchmarks on the connecting rod and cap are aligned to ensure correct reassembly.
(2)
Remove 2 connecting rod cap bolts.
(3)
Remove the connecting rod cap and bearing half.
(4)
Clean the crank pin and bearing.
(5)
Place plastigage across the crank pin.
(6)
Reinstall the bearing half and cap, and torque the bolts.

Tightening torque
17.7~21.6Nm (1.8~2.2kgf.m, 13.0~15.9lb-ft) + 88~92°

   
Always use new connecting rod cap bolts. Connecting rod cap bolts are toque-to-yield bolts designed to be permanently elongated beyond the state of elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail to maintain clamping force.
Do not turn the crankshaft.
(7)
Remove 2 bolts, connecting rod cap and bearing half.
(8)
Measure the plastigage at its widest point.

Standard oil clearance
0.031 ~ 0.045mm (0.00122 ~ 0.00177in.)

(9)
If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow, remove the upper half of the bearing, install a new, complete bearing with the same color mark (select the color as shown in the next column), and recheck the clearance.
   
Do not file, shim, or scrape the bearings or the caps to adjust clearance.
(10)
If the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color listed above or below that one), and check clearance again.
   
If the proper clearance cannot be obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings, replace the crankshaft and start over.
If the marks are indecipherable because of an accumulation of dirt and dust, do not scrub them with a wire brush or scraper. Clean them only with solvent or detergent.

3.
Inspect the connecting rods.
(1)
When reinstalling, make sure that cylinder numbers put on the connecting rod and cap at disassembly match. When a new connecting rod is installed, make sure that the notches for holding the bearing in place are on the same side.
(2)
Replace the connecting rod if it is damaged on the thrust faces at either end. Also if step wear or a severely rough surface of the inside diameter of the small end is apparent, the rod must be replaced as well.
(3)
Using a connecting rod aligning tool, check the rod for bend and twist. If the measured value is close to the repair limit, correct the rod by a press. Any connecting rod that has been severely bent or distorted should be replaced.

Allowable bend of connecting rod :
0.05mm (0.0020 in.) or less for 100mm (3.94 in.)
Allowable twist of connecting rod :
0.10mm (0.0039 in.) or less for 100mm (3.94 in.)

Crankshaft
1.

(1)
To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance, remove the main caps and bearing halves.
(2)
Clean each main journal and bearing half with a clean shop towel.
(3)
Place one strip of plastigage across each main journal.
(4)
Reinstall the bearings and caps, then torque the bolts.

Tightening torque
14.7N.m (1.5kgf.m, 10.8lb-ft) + 27.5~31.4Nm (2.8~3.2kgf.m, 20.3~23.1lb-ft) + 120~125°

   
Always use new crankshaft main bearing cap bolts. Crankshaft main bearing cap bolts are toque-to-yield bolts designed to be permanently elongated beyond the state of elasticity when torqued, so if the bolts are removed and reused, it may cause the bolts to break or fail to maintain clamping force.
Do not turn the crankshaft.
(5)
Remove the cap and bearing again, and measure the widest part of the plastigage.

Standard oil clearance
0.020 ~ 0.038mm (0.00079 ~ 0.00150in.)

(6)
If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow, remove the upper half of the bearing, install a new, complete bearing with the same color mark (select the color as shown in the next column), and recheck the clearance.
   
Do not file, shim, or scrape the bearings or the caps to adjust clearance.
(7)
If the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the color listed above or below that one), and check clearance again.
   
If the proper clearance cannot be obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings, replace the crankshaft and start over.
If the marks are indecipherable because of an accumulation of dirt and dust, do not scrub them with a wire brush or scraper. Clean them only with solvent or detergent.

24.
Install the cylinder head assembly. (Refer to Cylinder head in this group)
25.
Install the timing chain. (Refer to Timing system in this group)
26.
Install the intake manifold and exhaust manifold.
(Refer to Intake and exhaust system in this group)
27.
Remove the engine from the engine stand.
28.
Install the torsion damper (A).

Tightening torque :
117.7 ~ 127.5N.m (12.0 ~ 13.0kgf.m, 86.8 ~ 93.9lb-ft)

   
Always use new bolts.
Apply sealant to the screw part (10mm (0.39in) from the end of the bolt) when reusing the bolts.

Sealant: Three bond 2403, Loctite 200 or 204

Install and uniformly tighten the 7 bolts, in several passes.
29.
Install the transaxle assembly. (Refer to AT group - "Automatic transaxle")
30.
Install the engine and transaxle assembly on the vehicle. (Refer to Engine and transaxle assembly in this group)
31.
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Add all the necessary fluids and check for leaks. Connect GDS. Check for codes, note, and clear. Recheck.
   
Adjust a shift cable.
Refill engine with engine oil.
Refill a transaxle with fluid.
Refill an engine radiator and a reservoir tank with coolant.
Refill an inverter radiator and a reservoir tank with coolant.
Clean battery posts and cable terminals and assemble.
Inspect for fuel leakage.
After assemble the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.
Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
Bleed air from the hybrid motor cooling system. (Refer to HT group - "Coolant")
Bleed air from the engine cooling system.
Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.)
Turn Off the engine. Check the level in the radiator, add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the cooling system.
Put radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks.
