Piston & Rod Assembly

  1. Remove cylinder head assembly. Remove oil pan. Mark connecting rod caps for reassembly reference. Remove connecting rod bearing nuts. Remove lower rod cap and bearing. Inspect top of cylinder walls and remove ridge using Cylinder Ridge Reamer (T64L-6011-EA) if required. Remove piston, being careful not to scratch crank journal or cylinder walls during removal. Install rubber hose over connecting rod studs to protect cylinder walls and crankshaft bearing surfaces.
  2. Repeat procedure for remaining pistons. Keep removed parts in order to ensure installation to original position. When installing pistons, align piston mark "F" (1.3L) or notch (1.6L) located at piston pin bore area, and connecting rod oil groove toward engine front. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Tighten all bolts and nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS TABLE  at the end of this article.
