(3)	Check that the crankshaft turns smoothly.

9.	Check the crankshaft end play.

10.

Install the piston and connecting rod assemblies.

Before installing the piston, apply a coat of engine oil to the ring grooves and cylinder bores.

(1)	Install the ring compressor, check that the rings are securely in place, then position the piston in the cylinder, and tap it in using the wooden handle of a hammer.

(2)	Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and check the connecting rod-to-crank journal alignment before pushing the piston into place.

(3)

Install the rod caps with bearings, and tighten the bolts.

Tightening torque :

17.7~21.8Nm (1.8~2.2kgf.m, 13.0~15.9lb-ft) + 88~92°

Do not reuse the connecting rod cap bolts.

11.

Apply the sealant on the ladder frame.

•	Apply the sealant, Hyundai Gray RTV or THREE-BOND 1217H or LOCTITE 5900H on the ladder frame rail portion and install it with in five minutes. If when sealant is applied to cylinder block bottom position, sealant position to be same with positon that is applied to ladder frame rail position.

•	Apply sealant along the inner line of the bolt holes.

12.

Install the ladder frame (A).

(1)	Apply engine oil to a new oil seal lip.

(2)	Using the SST(09231-H1100, 09231-2B200) and a hammer, tap in the oil seal until its surface is flush with the rear oil seal retainer edge.

14.

Install the oil screen (A).

Install a new gasket and oil screen with 2 bolts.

Tightening torque :

19.6 ~ 26.5N.m (2.0 ~ 2.7kgf.m, 14.5 ~ 19.5lb-ft)

15.

Install the oil pan.

(1)

Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old packing material from the gasket surfaces.

Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry before applying liquid gasket.

(2)

Apply liquid gasket with the width of Ø3mm, starting 1mm-away position from the inner rounding of the oil pan rail.

Liquid gasket : Hyundai Gray RTV or TB 1217H or LOCTITE 5900H

•	To prevent leakage of oil, apply liquid gasket to the inner threads of the bolt holes.

•	Do not install the parts if five minutes or more have elapsed since applying the liquid gasket. Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing the residue.

•	After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.

(3)

Install the oil pan (A) with the bolts.

Uniformly tighten the bolts in several passes.

Tightening torque :

9.8 ~ 11.8N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7lb-ft)

16.

Install the oil pressure switch.

(1)	Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads.

(2)

Install the oil pressure switch (A).

Tightening torque :

7.8 ~ 11.8N.m (0.8 ~ 1.2kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 8.7lb-ft)

17.

Install the knock sensor (A) and the oil filter (B).

Tightening torque :

16.7 ~ 26.5N.m (1.7 ~ 2.7kgf.m, 12.3 ~ 19.5lb-ft)
