>> D << Piston And Connecting Rod Assembly Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Apply oil to the piston, piston ring, and oil ring.
- Align the gaps of the piston rings and oil rings (side rails and spacer) as shown.
- With the piston crown's front arrow mark pointing toward the timing belt side, press the piston and connecting rod assembly into the cylinder from the top of the cylinder.
- Compress the piston rings tightly with a suitable ring compression tool, then press the piston and connecting rod fully into the cylinder. Do not strike the piston hard since the piston rings may break and the crank pin may be nicked.
