Cylinder Block: Reassembly

  1. Install main bearings, crankshaft and connecting rods. Ensure all crankshaft bearings are installed in cylinder block. Install "O" ring and back-up ring on cylinder block. Ensure "O" ring properly fits in groove.

  4. Lay cylinder block down and tighten bolts to specification. With cylinders No. 3 and 4 facing downward, rotate crankshaft so No. 1 and 2 cylinder connecting rods are at BDC.
  5. Lubricate piston, rings and cylinder wall. Ensure piston rings are proper positioned. See Figure . Install No. 1 and 2 cylinder pistons. Using Piston Pin Guide (399284300), align connecting rod and piston pin holes.
  6. Install piston pin. Install piston pin retaining clips with end of clip away from piston pin.
    CAUTION: Piston pin retaining clips must be installed with end of clip positioned away from piston pin.
  7. Repeat procedure on remaining cylinders. Ensure all piston pin retaining clips are properly installed. Apply Three Bond (1205) to service hole plugs. Install plugs and tighten to specification.
