Piston & Rod Assembly: Removal

  1. With cylinder head and oil pan removed, use a ridge reamer to remove any ridge or deposits on upper end of cylinder bore.
    NOTE: Piston must be at bottom of stroke and covered with cloth to collect cuttings.
  2. Inspect rods and caps for cylinder identification and mark as necessary. Remove rod cap and cover studs with rubber tubing to protect crankshaft and cylinder walls.
  3. Carefully push piston and rod assembly out top of cylinder block.
