Safety & preparatory precautions
1. Work in a well‑ventilated, well‑lit area on a flat surface. Disconnect negative battery cable.
2. Drain engine oil and coolant; capture fluids for proper disposal.
3. If engine stays in vehicle, support chassis safely on jack stands; if removing engine, use proper hoist and lifting points.
4. Never work under an unsupported engine or vehicle. Wear PPE.
5. Have the Hino workshop manual for the exact model and engine code ready. All torque figures, clearances, and sequence instructions must come from the manual.

General notes before starting
- “Hino FD/FE/FF/SG/FA/FB Series” covers multiple engines; exact specs vary. Use the specific engine service manual for torque values, bearing clearances, ring end gaps, piston side clearance and piston orientation. Below is the step‑by‑step procedure and the exact use of each tool; where a numeric spec is needed, consult the manual.

Step-by-step procedure (remove, inspect, replace, install)

A. Access and disassembly
1. Label and photograph everything you remove. Mark wiring, hoses, intake/exhaust, and timing components for reassembly.
2. Remove intake manifold, turbocharger (if required), exhaust manifold, and ancillary components blocking head removal.
3. Remove valve cover, loosen rocker/tappet assemblies and remove cylinder head(s) per manual (follow torque loosen sequence in reverse). Keep head bolts/caps in labeled order.
4. Remove timing gear/belt/chain components to free the crank (align timing marks, mark chain/belt orientation). Remove timing cover.
5. Remove oil pan and oil pickup. Clean oil pickup; inspect for debris (metal indicates serious wear).
6. Remove main bearing caps only if you are removing crank or to get access per manual; usually for piston removal you do not need to remove mains unless removing crank. If working with pistons in‑engine: remove connecting rod caps.
7. Rotate crank to bring piston to bottom dead center (BDC) for easiest rod cap removal.

Tools used: sockets, torque wrench (for head, main caps), pry bars (light), drain pans.

B. Removing pistons
1. Mark each connecting rod and cap with cylinder number and orientation (rod-to-cap, and “UP” or arrow orientation). Keep rod-bolt sets together.
2. Remove rod caps (use correct socket and breaker; note rod bearing halves). Tap cap off gently — do not pry the rod off the journal.
3. Push piston/rod assembly upward from crank side to compress rings and remove from cylinder through the top of the block. Use wooden dowel against piston crown to avoid damaging piston. If piston won't pass, the rings need to be compressed with ring compressor from top while guiding out.
4. Remove piston pin circlips with snap‑ring pliers, then remove piston pin and separate piston from connecting rod (warm the piston slightly if fit is tight, per manual).
5. Bag and label pistons, rods and caps in matching sets and orientation.

Tools used: snap‑ring pliers, wooden dowel, piston ring compressor (for safe re-install), markings for components.

C. Inspection & measuring
1. Inspect cylinder bores for scoring, taper, out-of-round. Use dial bore gauge or telescoping gauge + micrometer. Compare to factory bore size and limits.
2. Measure pistons with micrometer at skirt and relevant heights. Check piston-to-bore clearance.
3. Measure rod bearing journals and crank journals for wear, using micrometer.
4. Check ring grooves for wear and carbon build-up; measure ring end-gap in the bore using a piston to square the ring and feeler gauge; compare to spec.
5. Inspect piston skirts, crowns, wrist pins, and circlips. Check connecting rod straightness if suspected.
6. If cylinder walls are glazed but not damaged, a light hone may suffice; if beyond service limit, rebore and fit oversized pistons or replace block/liners per manual.

Tools used: micrometer, dial bore gauge, feeler gauges, clean shop rags, solvent.

Replacement parts typically required
- Piston rings (always replace).
- Rod bearings and main bearings (replace whenever removed).
- Piston pin circlips (always replace).
- Piston wrist pins (often reusable if within spec, but consider replacement).
- Piston assemblies (if damaged or if ring land damage exists).
- Rod bolts/nuts (replace if torque-to-yield or if manufacturer requires).
- Gaskets and seals (head gasket, oil pan gasket, crank seals).
- Oil and oil filter, coolant.

D. Cylinder prep & honing
1. If within service limit and only glaze removal required: perform manual or power honing with correct stones to create crosshatch pattern (~20–40°). Do NOT over-hone.
2. If rebore required: send to machine shop for correct oversize pistons and rods as needed.
3. Clean thoroughly after honing — remove all abrasive stone grit and debris (parts washer, compressed air, solvent). Ensure oil passages clear.

Tools used: cylinder hone, solvent, compressed air.

E. Piston ring fitting & end-gap
1. Always fit new rings and check end gap in the actual cylinder at TDC with rings square in bore using a piston. Use feeler gauge to check gaps; file or select correct ring size to meet spec.
2. Arrange ring orientation per ring manufacturer/Hino manual: location (top ring, 2nd ring, oil ring expander/rails), stamping orientation (“TOP” up).
3. Use piston ring expander to fit rings onto pistons; never spread rings with pliers or fingertips (risk breakage).

Tools used: ring end gap gauges or feeler gauges, ring expander.

F. Installation of pistons
1. Lubricate piston skirts, rings, wrist pin and rod bearings with engine assembly lube or clean engine oil.
2. Compress rings in the piston ring compressor. Ensure ring gaps are staggered around piston (do not align gaps).
3. With cylinder at TDC or just above BDC as recommended, guide piston into bore with compressor seated at block deck. Tap piston into place gently with rubber mallet on wooden handle or the tool body while supporting underside of rod — avoid cocking the piston.
4. Reinstall rod cap in correct orientation and torque to spec in sequence. If required use plastigage first to check bearing clearance: place plastigage strip on journal, install cap, torque to spec, remove cap and measure by comparing flattened width against chart. Replace bearings if clearance out of spec.
5. After removing plastigage, clean and install new bearing halves and reinstall caps, torque to final spec (and angle if specified). Check that rod rotates freely without binding.

Tools used: ring compressor, rubber mallet, torque wrench, plastigage, assembly lube.

G. Reassembly of engine
1. Reinstall crank main caps if removed; torque in correct sequence and values.
2. Reinstall oil pump (prime if applicable), oil pickup and oil pan with new gaskets.
3. Reinstall timing assembly and set timing marks per manual.
4. Reinstall cylinder head(s) with new head gasket, torque head bolts in correct sequence and steps (some are angle torqued).
5. Reinstall intake/exhaust, turbo, ancillaries, valve cover, connect hoses, wiring.
6. Refill engine with required oil and coolant. Prime oiling system (pre-lube starter motor or crank the engine without starting until oil pressure registered) per manual.
7. Start engine, monitor oil pressure, listen for abnormal noises, inspect for leaks. Initial run-in at varying moderate rpm and loads; follow break-in procedures for new rings/pistons as per manual (often 20–50 km light driving).

Tools used: torque wrench, assembly lube, sealant, oil, coolant.

Common pitfalls & how to avoid them
- Not using the manual: torque values, clearances and sequences vary — always follow Hino manual.
- Mixing rod/cap pairs or flipping caps: mark everything; always reinstall in original orientation.
- Reusing rings: never reuse piston rings. Rings wear and their spring tension is reduced.
- Improper ring end-gap: too small = seizure, too large = blow-by. Measure in bore with piston.
- Improper ring orientation or aligned gaps: stagger gaps as specified.
- Damaging piston crowns or skirts when removing/installing: use wooden dowel or soft tools, don’t pry with metal.
- Not checking journals/bores for taper/out-of-round: can cause premature wear or failures.
- Ignoring bearing clearance: use plastigage or micrometer measurements; replace bearings outside spec.
- Over-honing or insufficient honing: removes too much metal or leaves glaze—follow crosshatch spec.
- Reusing circlips: they can deform; replace to avoid piston pin escape.
- Not priming oil system before start: causes dry start, bearing damage.
- Improper torquing sequence or reused stretch bolts: replace stretch/torque-to-yield bolts.
- Not removing debris after honing: abrasive particles cause rapid wear—clean thoroughly.

How each critical tool is used (concise)
- Torque wrench: tighten bolts in specified sequence and to specified torque, use angle gauge if required for torque‑to‑angle bolts.
- Piston ring compressor: compress rings uniformly around piston skirt; slide assembly into bore and tap piston in.
- Ring expander: spread rings slightly to slip over piston without scratching ring land.
- Micrometer & bore gauge: measure piston diameter and cylinder bore to calculate piston-to-bore clearance.
- Plastigage: place single strip across journal, torque cap to spec, remove cap and compare flattened width to scale to determine clearance.
- Cylinder hone: create crosshatch to help ring seating—run with light oil and moderate pressure, follow crosshatch angle spec, rotate block/ hone slowly.
- Snap‑ring pliers: compress or expand circlips for wrist pins without damage.

Final checks & break-in
- Verify oil pressure and absence of leaks after first start.
- Recheck torque of accessible fasteners after initial heat cycles per manual.
- Follow break-in speed/load schedule to seat rings and bearings.

Minimal immediate replacement list (as standard when pistons are out)
- Piston rings, rod bearings, main bearings if disturbed, piston pin circlips, oil and filters, gaskets/seals, possibly rod bolts if required by manufacturer.

Do not skip the official Hino service manual for model-specific specs, sequences and allowable tolerances.
