Piston & Rod Assembly: Removal

  1. With cylinder head and oil pan removed, use a suitable ridge cutter to remove any ridge or deposits on upper end of cylinder bore.
    NOTE: Piston must be at bottom of stroke and covered with a cloth to collect cuttings.
  2. Inspect connecting rods and caps for cylinder identification and mark as necessary. Remove rod cap and push piston and rod assembly out top of cylinder block, taking care not to nick crankshaft journal or cylinder wall. Remove bearing inserts and install cap to its respective rod.
