Important: Many internal engine components will develop specific wear patterns
on their friction surfaces.
When disassembling the engine, internal components MUST be separated,
marked or organized in a way to ensure reinstallation to original location
and position.
Separate, mark, or organize the following components:
• | Piston and the piston pin |
• | Piston to the specific cylinder bore |
• | Piston rings to the piston |
• | Connecting rod to the crankshaft journal |
• | Connecting rod to the bearing cap |
• | Crankshaft main and connecting rod bearings |
• | Camshaft and valve lifters |
• | Valve lifters, guides, pushrods, pivot supports and rocker arms |
• | Valve to the valve guide |
• | Valve spring and shim to the cylinder head location |
• | Engine block main bearing cap location and direction |
• | Oil pump drive and driven gears |
