Keep all parts clean from contaminants.Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
Verify correct assembly of the pistons and the connecting rods. Ensure that the etched numbers on the rod and the rod cap are in the correct positions. The etched number on the rod and the rod cap correspond to the cylinder in which it should be installed.
Note: The word "FRONT" may be stamped on the pistons in some engines. Ensure that the word "FRONT" is toward the front of the engine when the piston is installed. The etched number on the connecting rod must be on the right side of the engine in the corresponding cylinder. Ensure that the piston and the etched number are correctly positioned.Note: Inspect condition of all piston ring grooves. Use Tooling (C) to verify diameter of top ring groove. Refer to Tool Operating Manual, NEHS0840 for additional information.
