Tools Required

J 25070 Heat Gun, or equivalent

1. Install 1 retaining clip (121).
2. Apply clean engine oil to the piston pin bore, piston pin, and connecting rod pin bore.



3. Use the J 25070 , or equivalent, in order to heat the piston to approximately 70°C (158°F).



4. Assemble the piston and connecting rod with the alignment marks (1) on the same side.
5. Install the piston pin (119) and clip (121).



6. Install the piston rings (122).



7. The top compression ring (1) has a 1D identification mark. The second compression ring (2) has a 2C identification mark. The manufacturing identification marks must face the top of the piston.



8. Using a feeler gage, measure the ring-to-groove clearance.
