Keep all parts clean from contaminants.Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
Thoroughly clean all of the components.
Lubricate the piston and the cylinder liner with clean engine oil.
Rotate the crankshaft until the connecting rod journal is at the bottom center. Lubricate the connecting rod journal with clean engine oil.
Install the upper connecting rod bearing cap in the connecting rod. Ensure that the locating tab is correctly installed in the connecting rod.
Lubricate the bearing for the upper connecting rod journal with clean engine oil.
Align the piston rings on the piston so that the distance between the gaps is 120 degrees.

Install connecting rod caps (2) with the bolts and nuts (1) .
Use the following procedure with serrated connecting rods and flat connecting rods:
If the connecting rod cap is held in position with bolts and nuts, tighten the nuts to a torque of 125 N m (92 lb ft).
If the connecting rod cap is held in position with bolts, tighten the bolts to a torque of 155 N m (114 lb ft).
Use the following procedure with hydraulically fractured connecting rods:Note: Do not reuse the bolts. New bolts should be used.
Tighten the bolts to a torque of 70 N m (52 lb ft).
Tighten the bolts for an additional 120 degrees.
Rotate the crankshaft in order to ensure that there is no binding.
Use Tooling (C) in order to check the height of the piston above the cylinder block. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Piston Height - Inspect".End By:
