- Before disassembling, mark rod and rod cap with matching cylinder number. Mark piston-to-rod relationship for reassembly reference. Notch or dot on piston top should face front of engine. Piston pin is a press fit.
- When measuring, ensure pin bore and piston pin are free of varnish and scuffing. If clearance between piston and pin exceeds specification, replace piston and pin as an assembly. See «PISTONS, PINS & RINGS SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-97422-S40971411732001050700000) table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
- Connecting rods are made of powdered metal, and are not repairable. Inspect rod bolt hole threads and mating surfaces, and rod bore for out-of-round condition. Check for rod twist, nicks, gouging and any other damage. If any damage exists, replace rod.
