Notice:
A rod kiln MUST be used during assembly of the connecting rod to the piston. If a connecting rod kiln is not available, seek the assistance of a

connecting rods, as permanent damage to the connecting rod may result.

It is not necessary to replace the piston rings, unless they were damaged during the repair process. If the piston rings are to be reused, mark or
identify the location/order of the rings as they correspond to location on the piston being serviced. Refer to ring gap placement instructions
found in the Engine Repair Section of the Service Manual.
