Connecting Rod: Service and Repair
Piston and Connecting Rod - Installation
INSTALLATION
1. Install the piston rings.
2. Before installing piston and connecting rod assemblies into the bore, ensure that compression ring gaps (2)&(5) are staggered so that neither is in
line with oil ring rail gap (1)&(4).
NOTE: Make sure that the oil hole in the connecting rod is facing the thrust side of the cylinder bore (Left side of block viewed from
front and pan rail down).
3. Before installing the ring compressor, make sure the oil ring expander (5) ends are butted and the rail gaps located as shown (1)&(4).
4. Immerse the piston head and rings in clean engine oil, slide the ring compressor over the piston and tighten with the special wrench. Ensure
position of rings does not change during this operation.
