Piston Pins: Removal

  1. Remove inserts from connecting rod and cap. Mark pistons, pins and inserts (if reusable) to assure assembly with same rod. Press pin from piston and rod using arbor press and Piston Pin Remover/Installer (J-24086-8 and 9).
  2. Inspect and replace any piston pin showing signs of fracture, etching or wear. Check pin-to-rod bore fit. Check ID of rod pin bore. If pin bore in rod is larger than specification, replace rod.
  3. Ensure proper fit by honing or reaming piston pin bore to light slip fit. If clearance exceeds .0010" (.025 mm), replace piston and pin assembly. Standard piston pin diameter is .9270-.9273" (23.54-23.55 mm). Lubricate pin and small end of rod bore with engine oil.
