NOTICE

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.

1. Thoroughly clean all of the components.

2. Lubricate the piston and the cylinder bore with clean engine oil.

Note: The piston and connecting rod are matched to a specific cylinder. Ensure that the
connecting rod and pistons are installed in the correct cylinder.

3. Rotate the crankshaft until the connecting rod journal is at the bottom center. Lubricate the
connecting rod journal with clean engine oil.

4. Lubricate the upper connecting rod bearing with clean engine oil.

5. Install the Tooling (A) on the piston.

Note: Ensure that the Tooling (A) is installed correctly and that the piston can easily slide from
the tool.

Note: The arrow that is on the top of the piston must be toward the front of the engine.

6. Push the piston and the connecting rod assembly into the cylinder bore and onto the connecting
rod journal.

7. Lubricate the lower connecting rod bearing with clean engine oil.

Note: The connecting rod is a forging. The connecting rod has been hydraulically split in order
to separate the connecting rod cap and the connecting rod. This process provides accurately
matched surfaces. Do not mix the connecting rod cap and the connecting rod.

8. Install the connecting rod cap (2) .

9. Install new setscrews (1) in the connecting rod.

Note: Do not reuse the old setscrews in order to secure the connecting rod cap.

10. Tighten the setscrews evenly to a torque of 18 N·m (13 lb ft).

11. Tighten the setscrews evenly to a torque of 70 N·m (52 lb ft).

12. Use the Tooling (B) to achieve the correct final torque.

Note: If the Tooling (B) is not used, place an index mark on each setscrew.

13. Turn the setscrews for an additional 120 degrees.

14. Rotate the crankshaft in order to ensure that there is no binding.

15. Repeat Steps 2 through 14 in order to install the remaining pistons and connecting rods.

16. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Piston Height - Inspect" for the correct procedure on checking
the height of the piston above the cylinder block.

End By:

a. Install the piston cooling jets. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Piston Cooling Jets -
Remove and Install".
b. Install the engine oil pump. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Pump - Install".
c. Install the engine oil pan. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Pan - Remove and
Install".
d. Install the cylinder head. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Cylinder Head - Install".
