Piston Pin Assembly Note

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2006 Mazda MPV, 2005 Mazda MPV, 2004 Mazda MPV, 2004 Mazda 6, and 2003 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Assemble the piston pin so that connecting rod's projection for discrimination faces opposite side of the arrow mark on the piston (rear side of the engine).
  2. Apply clean engine oil to the piston pin.
  3. Install the piston pin until the pin contacts the clip.
    • If the pin cannot be installed easily, heat the piston.
