How to remove the piston/connecting rod assemblies on 1997 through 2001 Toyota Solara?

Prior to removing the piston/connecting rod assemblies, remove the cylinder head(s), the oil pan, and the oil pump pick-up tube. On four-cylinder engines only, remove the engine balancer assembly if not already done. Use your fingernail to feel if a ridge has formed at the upper limit of ring travel. If carbon deposits or cylinder wear have produced ridges, they must be completely removed with a special tool. After the cylinder ridges have been removed, turn the engine upside-down so the crankshaft is facing up. Before the connecting rods are removed, check the endplay with feeler gauges. Slide them between the first connecting rod and the crankshaft throw until the play is removed. Check the connecting rods and caps for identification marks. Loosen each of the connecting rod cap nuts 1/2-turn at a time until they can be removed by hand. Remove the number one connecting rod cap and bearing insert. To protect the crankshaft journals on four-cylinder engines, slip short pieces of rubber hose over the rod bolts before removing the pistons. Push the connecting rod/piston assembly out through the top of the engine. Repeat the procedure for the remaining cylinders. After removal, reassemble the connecting rod caps and bearing inserts in their respective connecting rods and install the cap nuts finger tight. Don't separate the pistons from the connecting rods.

Toyota Solara Piston

The Piston used in models such as the Toyota Solara comes as one of the many parts of the internal combustion engine, the function of which is to transform the combustion power into the required energy for the car's movement. It works by directly taking forces developed by expanding gases and converting the same into a crank shaft for proper running of the engine. Commonly made from aluminium alloys to provide strength with minimum weight, the pistons can also incorporate service holes, and cooling shafts in its structure; the piston rings may also exhibit designs such as gas sealed piston rings. A variety of designs of pistons has been incorporated in Toyota Solara models throughout the years that include trunk pistons for petrol as well as diesel engines where the part has to deal with the side forces as well as containing oil rings. Besides, racing pistons are lightweight and strong as they are made to cope with high rpm. Other types of pistons that are also used include the slipper and the deflector ones and are used in certain niches to offer the optimal performance and efficiency. All in all, the material and design of the piston determines the performance and durability of the given automobile.

Q: How to remove the piston/connecting rod assemblies on 1997 through 2001 Toyota Solara?
A: Prior to removing the piston/connecting rod assemblies, remove the cylinder head(s), the oil pan, and the oil pump pick-up tube. On four-cylinder engines only, remove the engine balancer assembly if not already done. Use your fingernail to feel if a ridge has formed at the upper limit of ring travel. If carbon deposits or cylinder wear have produced ridges, they must be completely removed with a special tool. After the cylinder ridges have been removed, turn the engine upside-down so the crankshaft is facing up. Before the connecting rods are removed, check the endplay with feeler gauges. Slide them between the first connecting rod and the crankshaft throw until the play is removed. Check the connecting rods and caps for identification marks. Loosen each of the connecting rod cap nuts 1/2-turn at a time until they can be removed by hand. Remove the number one connecting rod cap and bearing insert. To protect the crankshaft journals on four-cylinder engines, slip short pieces of rubber hose over the rod bolts before removing the pistons. Push the connecting rod/piston assembly out through the top of the engine. Repeat the procedure for the remaining cylinders. After removal, reassemble the connecting rod caps and bearing inserts in their respective connecting rods and install the cap nuts finger tight. Don't separate the pistons from the connecting rods.
