>>D<< Piston And Connecting Rod Assembly Installation

  1. Apply engine oil sufficiently onto the piston periphery, the piston rings and the oil ring.
  2. Align the gaps of the piston rings and the oil ring (side rails, spacer) as illustrated.
  3. 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.
  4. While firmly holding the piston rings with a ring band, insert the piston and connecting rod assembly into place.
