Kia Optima: Reassembly
| • |
Thoroughly clean all
parts to assembled. |
| • |
Before installing the
parts, apply fresh engine oil to all sliding and rotating surfaces. |
| • |
Replace all gaskets,
O-rings and oil seals with new parts. |
|
| 1. |
Assemble the piston and connecting
rod.
| (1) |
The piston front mark
and the connecting rod front mark must face the timing chain side
of the engine.

|
| (2) |
Before pressing the piston
pin, apply a coat of lubricant oil to the piston pin outer and connecting
rod.
|
• |
Take
care that piston pin is not damaged during reassemble
. |
|
• |
When
replace the piston pin, check the piston pin outer
diameter and connecting rod small end inner diameter
as below. Piston pin outer diameter : 21.997 ~
22.000mm (0.8660 ~ 0.8661in)
Piston pin hole inner diameter : 22.003mm ~ 22.007mm
(0.8662 ~ 0.8664in)Connecting rod small end inner
diameter : 22.005 ~ 22.011mm (0.8663 ~ 0.8665in)
Interference : -0.014mm ~ -0.005mm (0.0006 ~ 0.0002in) |
|
|
| (3) |
Set the snap ring in
one side of piston pin hole and insert the piston pin into the piston
pin hole & the small end bore of connecting rod while meeting the
front mark of connecting rod & piston.
|
Be sure to keep the small end bore, pistonpin hole & piston
pin from being damaged and scratched when inserting the
piston pin. |
|
Assembling condition
Temperature : piston side 70 to 80C , connecting rod
& pin is to be normal room temperature.
|
|
| (4) |
