Piston And Connecting Rod

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Dodge Magnum, 2008 Dodge Charger, and 2008 Chrysler 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Check the connecting rod journal for excessive wear, taper and scoring. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE 

Check the connecting rod for signs of twist or bending.

Use the proper tool when removing the piston clip. If the clip is pried out, a burr may form on the groove that will inhibit pin removal and installation.

Check the piston for taper and elliptical shape before it is fitted into the cylinder bore. See STANDARD PROCEDURE .

Check the piston for scoring, or scraping marks in the piston skirts. Check the ring lands for cracks and/or deterioration.
