Chrysler PT Cruiser. Manual — part 711
Piston and cylinder wall must be clean and dry.
Piston diameter should be measured 90 degrees to
piston pin.
Non-Turbo:
• Measurement should be taken approximately 14
mm (0.551 in.) from the bottom of the skirt as shown
in (Fig. 77).
Turbo:
• Measurement should be taken approximately 22
mm (0.866 in.) from the bottom of the skirt as shown
in (Fig. 78).
Cylinder bores should be measured halfway down
the cylinder bore and transverse (measurement loca-
tion B) to the engine crankshaft center line shown in
(Fig. 79). Refer to for Engine Specifications (Refer to
9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS). Correct piston to
bore clearance must be established in order to assure
quiet and economical operation.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove cylinder head (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
CYLINDER HEAD - REMOVAL).
(2) Remove oil pan (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/LUBRI-
CATION/OIL PAN - REMOVAL).
(3) Remove Balance Shaft Carrier Assembly (Refer
to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/BALANCE SHAFT
CARRIER - REMOVAL).
(4) Remove top ridge of cylinder bores with a reli-
able ridge reamer before removing pistons from cyl-
inder block. Be sure to keep tops of pistons
covered during this operation.
(5) Pistons have a directional stamping in the
front half of the piston facing towards the front of
engine (Fig. 80).
(6) Pistons and connecting rods must be removed
from top of cylinder block. Rotate crankshaft so that
each connecting rod is centered in cylinder bore.

(7) Using a permanent ink or paint marker, iden-
tify cylinder number on each connecting rod cap (Fig.
81).
CAUTION: DO NOT use a number stamp or a punch
to mark connecting rods. Damage to connecting
rod could occur.
(8) Remove connecting rod bolts and cap. Care
should be taken not to damage the fracture rod and
cap surfaces.
NOTE: Do not reuse connecting rod bolts.
CAUTION: Care must be taken not to damage the
fractured rod and cap joint surfaces, as engine
damage many occur.
(9) To protect crankshaft journal and fractured rod
surfaces, install Special Tool 8189, connecting rod
guides onto connecting rod (Fig. 82). Carefully push
each piston and rod assembly out of cylinder bore.
NOTE: On Turbocharger equipped engines, be care-
ful not to damage the oil jet assembly when remov-
ing piston/connecting rod (Fig. 83).
(10) Remove Special Tool 8189, connecting rod
guides and re-install bearing cap on the mating rod.
NOTE: Piston and rods are serviced as an assem-
bly.
(11) Repeat procedure for each piston and connect-
ing rod assembly.
(12) Remove piston rings (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/
ENGINE BLOCK/PISTON RINGS - REMOVAL).

INSTALLATION
(1) Install piston rings on piston (Refer to 9 -

RINGS
-
INSTALLATION)
(2) Before installing pistons and connecting rod
assemblies into the bore, be sure that compression
ring gaps are staggered so that neither is in line with
oil ring rail gap (Fig. 84).
(3) Before installing the ring compressor, make
sure the oil ring expander ends are butted and the
rail gaps located as shown in (Fig. 84). As viewed
from top.
(4) Immerse the piston head and rings in clean
engine oil, slide the ring compressor, over the piston
(Fig. 85). Be sure position of rings does not
change during this operation .
(5) The directional stamp on the piston should face
toward the front of the engine (Fig. 80).
(6) Rotate crankshaft so that the connecting rod
journal is on the center of the cylinder bore. Lubri-
cate connecting rod journal with clean engine oil.
(7) Install connecting rod upper bearing half into
connecting rod. Install Special Tool 8189, connecting
rod guides onto connecting rod (Fig. 82).
(8) Tap the piston down in cylinder bore, using a
hammer handle. At the same time, guide connecting
rod into position on connecting rod journal.
(9) Remove Special Tool 8189, connecting rod
guides.
NOTE: The connecting rod cap bolts should not be
reused.
(10) Before installing the NEW bolts, the threads
should be coated with clean engine oil.
(11) Install connecting rod lower bearing half into
connecting rod cap. Install connecting rod cap.
(12) Install each bolt finger tight then alternately
torque each bolt to assemble the cap properly.
(13) Tighten the connecting rod bolts using the 2
step torque-turn method. Tighten according to the
following values:
CAUTION: Do not use a torque wrench for the sec-
ond step.
1. Tighten the bolts to 27 N·m (20 ft. lbs.).
2. Tighten the connecting rod bolts an additional
1/4 TURN.
(14) Using a feeler gauge, check connecting rod
side clearance (Fig. 86). (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
SPECIFICATIONS) for connecting rod side clearance.
(15) Install Balance Shaft Carrier Assembly (Refer
to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/BALANCE SHAFT
CARRIER - INSTALLATION).

CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS
STANDARD PROCEDURE
CONNECTING ROD - FITTING
(1) For measuring connecting rod bearing clear-
ance procedure and use of Plastigage (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE). For bearing
clearance refer to Engine Specifications. (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS)
NOTE: The rod bearing bolts should not be reused.
(2) Before installing the NEW bolts the threads
should be oiled with clean engine oil.
(3) Install each bolt finger tight then alternately
torque each bolt to assemble the cap properly.
(4) Tighten the connecting rod bolts using the 2
step torque-turn method. Tighten according to the
following values:
CAUTION: Do not use a torque wrench for the sec-
ond step.
1. Tighten the bolts to 27 N·m (20 ft. lbs.).
2. Tighten the connecting rod bolts an additional
1/4 TURN.
(5) Using a feeler gauge, check connecting rod side
clearance (Fig. 87). Refer to clearance specifications
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE - SPECIFICATIONS).
PISTON RINGS
STANDARD PROCEDURE
PISTON RING - FITTING
(1) Wipe cylinder bore clean. Insert ring and push
down with piston to ensure it is square in bore. The
ring gap measurement must be made with the ring
positioning at least 12 mm (0.50 inch) from bottom of
cylinder bore. Check gap with feeler gauge (Fig. 88).
Refer to Engine Specifications.
(2) Check piston ring to groove side clearance (Fig.
89). Refer to Engine Specifications.
