NOTE:
The following piston installation steps are for all 8 connecting rods, rod bearings and pistons. Only one connecting rod, rod bearing and piston is shown in illustration.
NOTE:
Do not scratch the cylinder walls or crankshaft journals with the connecting rod or engine damage may occur.
NOTE:
The rod cap installation must keep the same orientation as marked during disassembly or engine damage may occur.
