Cylinder Block: Piston & Rod Assembly: Removal

  1. Before removing piston and connecting rod, ensure rods and rod caps are labeled for proper reassembly. During removal, rotate crankshaft until piston assembly being removed is at bottom of stroke. With cylinder head and oil pan removed, inspect cylinder bores for ridges and/or deposits. Move piston to be removed to bottom of bore and cover with cloth to catch metal cuttings.
  2. Remove ridge at top of cylinder bores (using ridge reamer) before removing pistons from block. Rotate crankshaft and inspect connecting rods and rod caps for cylinder identification. Label them if necessary.
  3. Remove rod nuts and cap. Install rubber sleeves on rod bolts and push each piston and rod assembly out through top of cylinder bore. Take care not to nick crankshaft journal or cylinder wall. Remove bearing inserts from rod and cap. Inspect for size, wear and damage. Install rod caps on mating rods.
