Piston Rings

  2. Ensure arrow on piston head faces front of engine. Ensure oil hole in connecting rod faces intake side of engine. Install cylinder head, oil pick-up screen and oil pan. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure.
CAUTION: Install spacer gap more than 45 degrees from side rail gaps. Rails should turn smoothly when installed.
