>>D<< Piston, Connecting Rod Assembly Installation
- Apply engine oil sufficiently onto the piston periphery, the piston rings and the oil ring.
- Align the gaps of the piston rings and the oil ring (side rails, spacer) as illustrated.
- Insert the piston and connecting rod assembly from above the cylinder block and through the cylinder bore, ensuring that the front mark on the piston top faces the camshaft sprocket.CAUTION: Do not try to strike hard on the assembly to fit it in place as this will break the piston rings.
- While firmly holding the piston rings with a ring band, insert the piston and connecting rod assembly into place.
