Separating Parts
Note:
| • |
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, 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
tappets |
| • |
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 |
