Piston & Rod Assembly: Removal

  1. With cylinder head and oil pan removed, remove connecting rod nuts. Remove rod cap with bearing half. Check top of cylinder bore for ridge. If scraper will not remove carbon build-up, remove using ridge reamer.
  2. Cover rod bolts with short pieces of rubber hose to protect crankshaft journals from damage. Push piston/rod assembly, with bearing half, out through top of block.
NOTE: Rod caps must be kept with their respective piston and rod assembly. They are not interchangeable.
