Piston: Service and Repair
Installation
NOTE: Before installing the piston, apply a coat of engine oil to the ring grooves and the cylinder bores.
1. If the crankshaft is already installed:
^
Set the crankshaft to Bottom Dead Center (BDC) for each cylinder.
^
Remove the connecting rod caps, and slip short sections of rubber hose over the threaded ends of the connecting rod bolts.
^
Install the ring compressor, check that the bearing is securely in place, then position the piston in the cylinder and tap it in using the wooden
handle of a hammer.
^
Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and check the connecting rod-to-crank journal alignment before pushing the piston into place.
^
Install the rod caps with bearings, and torque the nuts to 46 Nm (34 ft. lbs.).
2. If the crankshaft is not installed:
^
Remove the rod caps and bearings, install the ring compressor, then position the piston in the cylinder and tap it in using the wooden handle of
a hammer.
^
Position all pistons at top dead center.
NOTE: Maintain downward force on the ring compressor to prevent the rings from expanding before entering the cylinder bore.
