Piston: Service and Repair
Assemble
1. Assemble piston and connecting rod:
a. Align the mark on top of the piston with the front of the engine. Assemble the connecting rod to the piston with the bearing tang slots directed
toward the exhaust manifold side.
NOTE: It is standard practice to assemble the piston and connecting rod with bearing tang slots in the rod directed toward the exhaust
manifold side.
CAUTION: Carefully remove any burrs in the piston pin bore, next to the snap ring groove, using an X-ACTO knife. This will prevent piston
pin scoring during installation.
b. Coat the piston pin with engine oil.
c. Install the piston pin using service tool.
