Piston: Service and Repair
INSTALLATION
Note: Before installing piston, apply a coat of engine oil to ring grooves and cylinder bores.
1. If crankshaft is already installed:
-
Remove connecting rod caps, then slip short sections of rubber hose over the threaded ends of connecting rod bolts.
-
Install ring compressor, check that bearing is securely in place, then position piston in cylinder and drive in using the wooden handle of a
hammer.
-
Stop after ring compressor pops free and check connecting rod-to-crank journal alignment before driving rod into place.
-
Install rod caps with bearings, and torque nuts to 29 N.m (21 lb-ft).
2. If crankshaft is not installed:
-
Remove rod caps and bearings, install ring compressor, then position piston in cylinder and drive in using the wooden handle of a hammer.
-
Position all pistons at top dead center.
Note: Maintain downward force on ring compressor to prevent rings from expanding before entering in cylinder bore.
