Piston & Rod Assembly

  1. Mark piston and rod assembly with corresponding cylinder number before removing. Center piston pin in piston. Measure and record piston pin installation depth. Use Piston Pin Removal & Installation Set (MD998780) with hydraulic press to remove piston pin.
  2. Piston pin should be easily pushed into piston. If looseness or resistance is encountered, replace piston and pin as a set. Check connecting rod for damage and excessive bend and twist. See CONNECTING RODS SPECIFICATIONS  under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
  3. Position piston, piston pin and rod on press. Ensure front mark on piston will face timing belt side of engine when installed. Using piston pin removal and installation set, install piston pin into piston and rod to depth recorded in step 1). Ensure piston pin is centered in piston.
