CAUTION:
-
Take care not to damage the contact surface of the metal gasket.
-
When removing the piston/connecting rod, take care not to hit the oil jet.
-
If the oil jet nozzle is damaged or bent, replace the oil jet assembly.
13. Reinstall the rod bearings and caps after removing each piston/connecting rod assembly.
14. Mark each piston/connecting rod assembly with its cylinder number to avoid mix-up on reassembly.
NOTE: The existing number on the connecting rod does not indicate its position in the engine, it indicates the rod bore size.
