INSTALLATION

CAUTION

Never install the ring compressor without the use of the cylinder liner as a guide. Damage to the piston

rings could result.

Cover rod bolts to prevent damage to crankshaft.

Place antiseizing tape over threads of rod bolts to prevent damage to crankshaft and liners.

NOTE

Lubricate bearings, bolt threads and surfaces of the nuts that make contact with the connecting rod caps

with clean engine oil.

Place piston ring compressor into position on the cylinder liner.

NOTE

Turn the crankshaft until the bearing journals for the piston and connecting rod assembly being

installed are at BDC.

Lubricate crankshaft journals, inside of cylinder liners, piston rings and connecting rod bearings with

clean engine oil.

Rotate piston rings so that the ring openings are approximately 90 degrees apart from each other.

Install new upper bearing half (5) and connecting rod

and piston assembly (4) into the same cylinder it was

removed from by carefully sliding it through the pis-

ton ring compressor and at the same time guiding the

connecting rod onto the crankshaft.
