Important:
• | Disassembly of the piston, press fit design piston pin, and connecting
rod may create scoring or damage to the piston pin and piston pin bore. If the piston,
press-fit design pin, and connecting rod have been disassembled, replace the
components as an assembly. |
• | 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 installation to their 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 |
| A paint stick or etching/engraving
type tool are recommended. Stamping the connecting rod or cap near the bearing bore
may affect component geometry. |
• | Crankshaft main and connecting rod bearings |
• | Camshaft and valve lifters |
• | Valve lifters, lifter guides, pushrods and rocker arm assemblies |
• | 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 |
