Piston & Rod Assembly

  1. Mark rod and rod cap with matching cylinder number. Before disassembling, mark piston to rod for reassembly reference. Notch or dot on piston top should face front of engine. Piston pin is a press fit.
  2. When measuring, pin bore and piston pin must be free of varnish and scuffing. If piston-to-pin clearance exceeds .001" (.03 mm), replace piston and pin as an assembly.
