Piston Pin Replacement

  1. Match mark piston pin and rod piston for reassembly reference. Using arbor press and piston pin removal/installation set, press piston pin through rod and out of piston.
  2. Check piston-to-pin clearance, and rod-to-pin interference fit. See PISTONS, PINS & RINGS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Ensure piston mark and rod identification mark are in proper position. Press pin into piston and rod until pin is centered. Piston should pivot freely.
