---|
Keep all parts clean from contaminants. Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life. |
- Clean the grooves of the used pistons with an acceptable tool or 1U-8811 Cleaner .
- Install the connecting rod bearings. Ensure that the tabs on the back side of the connecting rod bearings are in the tab grooves of the connecting rod and the connecting rod cap.
- Install connecting rod (2) into the piston. Ensure that bearing tab slot (3) and the identification marks are on the same side as the "V" mark on the top of the piston.
