a) Use a scraper to remove carbon deposits and other carbon deposits from the piston crown.
b) Clean the piston grooves from deposits with a piece of a broken ring.

c) Using solvent and a soft bristle brush, thoroughly clean the piston.
Note: Do not use a wire brush.
2. Check the piston and piston rings.

A. Check the clearance between the piston and the cylinder.
Note: There are three size groups of the nominal piston diameter, designated by the marks (numbers) "1", "2" and "3" respectively. The mark is applied to the piston bottom at the edge in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the piston pin or to the piston bottom in the center. Pay attention to the mark (notch) "front", along which the piston should be installed in the cylinder.

G. Check the piston pin.
When the piston is heated to 60°C, the piston pin should move in the piston without significant effort. After checking, remove the piston pin.

3. Check the alignment of the connecting rod.

If the twisting is greater than the permissible limit, replace the connecting rod together with the connecting rod cap.

In a similar manner, check the twist of the connecting rod, as shown in the figure.

b) (3S - FE) Align the oil holes of the new bushing and connecting rod and press the bushing in place.

(2C) Install the bushing on the special device, securing it with a ball in the oil (lubrication) hole of the bushing.

Align the oil holes of the bushing and connecting rod.

Using a special tool and a press, press in the bushing.

c) Measure the piston pin oil clearance and, if necessary, grind or regrind the new bushing until the nominal clearance is obtained.
d) Check the operation of the piston pin at normal room temperature. Apply engine oil to the piston pin and press it as shown in the figure.

G. (3S - FE) Check the connecting rod bolts.
a) Thread a nut onto each bolt and make sure the nut can be easily threaded by hand, covering the entire length of the bolt thread.
b) If the nut does not screw on by hand, measure the outer diameter of the bolt thread with a caliper in the area of greatest thread wear.
Standard diameter:
- 3S - FE - 7.86 - 8.00 mm

Note: If such an area is difficult to detect visually, measure at a distance of 15 mm from the end of the bolt, as shown in the figure.
If the outside thread diameter is less than the minimum allowable, replace the connecting rod bolt and nut as a single assembly.
