- Connecting Rod Bearing Cap and Bearing Half - Remove
NOTE: Keep all connecting rod bearing caps and connecting rod bearings in order.
- Lower Block and Bearing Half - Remove
1. Remove the 8 mm bolts in the sequence shown. 2. Remove the bearing cap bolts. To prevent warpage, loosen the bolts in sequence 1/3 turn at a time; repeat the sequence until all bolts are loosened. 3. Using a flat blade screwdriver, separate the lower block from the engine block in the places shown. 4. Remove the lower block and the bearings. Keep all the bearings in order.

- Thrust Washer - Remove
- CKP Pulse Plate - Remove
- L Side Cover - Remove (if necessary)
- Drain Bolt - Remove (if necessary)
- Sealing Bolt - Remove (if necessary)
- Oil Jet and Oil Jet Bolt - Remove
- Piston/Connecting Rod Assembly - Remove
1. If you can feel a ridge of metal or hard carbon around the top of each cylinder, remove it with a ridge reamer (A). Follow the reamer manufacturer's instructions. If the ridge is not removed, it may damage the piston as it is pushed out. 2. Use the wooden handle of a hammer (A) to drive out the piston/connecting rod assembly (B). Take care not to damage the cylinder with the connecting rod. 3. Reinstall the connecting rod bearings and caps after removing each piston/connecting rod assembly.
4. Mark each piston/connecting rod assembly with its cylinder number to make sure they are reinstalled in the original order.
NOTE: The existing number on the connecting rod does not indicate its position in the engine, it indicates the rod bore size.
- Piston Ring - Remove
1. Using a ring expander (A), remove the old piston rings (B). 2. Clean all ring grooves thoroughly with a squared-off broken ring or a ring groove cleaner with a blade to fit the piston grooves. The top and second grooves are 1.0 mm (0.039 in) wide. The oil ring groove is 2.0 mm (0.079 in) wide. File down a blade if necessary. Do not use a wire brush to clean the ring grooves, or cut the ring grooves deeper with the cleaning tools.
NOTE: If the piston is to be separated from the connecting rod, do not install new rings yet.
- Piston Pin - Remove
1. Apply new engine oil to the piston pin snap rings (A), and turn them in the ring grooves until the end gaps are lined up with the cutouts in the piston pin bores (B).
NOTE: Take care not to damage the ring grooves.2. Remove the snap rings (A) from both sides of each piston. Start at the cutout in the piston pin bore. Remove the snap rings carefully so they do not go flying or get lost. Wear eye protection. 3. Heat the piston and connecting rod assembly to about 158°F (70°C). 4. Remove the piston pin.
