Piston & Rod Assembly: Removal

  1. With cylinder head(s) and oil pan removed, inspect cylinder bores for ridges and/or deposits. Move piston to be removed to bottom of bore and cover with cloth to catch cuttings.
  2. Remove any ridge at top of cylinder bores before removing pistons from block. Rotate crankshaft and inspect rods and caps for cylinder identification. Mark them for reassembly.
  3. Remove rod cap and push each piston and rod assembly out top of bore. Place sleeve or rubber hose over rod bolts. Remove bearings from rod and cap and inspect. Install rod caps on mating rods.
    NOTE: Notch on top of piston faces front of engine.
