Illustration 1 g01139074
Illustration 2 g01139072Note: This engine has fractured connecting rods. Fractured connecting rods must be handled with care. Hold the connecting rod in a soft jawed vise. Then assemble the piston pin to the connecting rod, the piston skirt, and the piston crown.
Check the clearance between the ends of piston rings (5). Refer to Specifications, "Piston and Rings".
Install the oil control piston ring with Tooling (A). The ends of the spring should be rotated 180 degrees from the ring end gap.
Install the intermediate piston ring with the side marked "UP-2" toward the top of the piston. Use Tooling (A) to install the ring.
Install the top piston ring with the side marked "UP-1" toward the top of the piston. Use Tooling (A) to install the ring.
Inspect bearings (7) in piston crown (6). The piston crown must be replaced if the piston crown is worn or damaged.
Position piston skirt (2) and piston crown (6) on connecting rod (1). Apply clean engine oil to pin (4) and install pin (4). Use Tooling (B) to install retaining rings (3). Ensure that retaining rings (3) are in the grooves of piston skirt (2). End By:
