Piston & Rod Assembly

  1. Install piston, connecting rod and bearings in corresponding cylinder. Connecting rods and bearing caps have numbers stamped on them. Ensure arrows on top of pistons point toward front of engine.
  2. Lubricate connecting rod bearings with oil. Install bearing caps, ensuring numbers match and are aligned. Install and tighten NEW connecting rod bolts. Using Torque Angle Gauge (11-2-110), tighten connecting rod bolts an additional torque angle. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
NOTE: If piston and connecting rod assembly have been separated, ensure piston is installed with arrow pointing toward right when connecting rod numbers are facing you.
