Assembly

Assemble
1.Apply engine oil to piston pin holes in piston and connecting rod.

3. Piston pin to piston and connecting rod using Piston Pin Remover/Installer Kit.

NOTE: Before installing pin to piston, set Piston Pin Remover/Installer Kit to E-4 for proper pin installation.

4. Place the piston in Piston Pin Remover/Installer Kit so the arrow mark on piston head faces up.

IMPORTANT
There are two types of first rings, marked and unmarked. When installing a new unmarked first ring it is not necessary to distinguish its top from bottom (i.e., either side can face upward, but when reinstalling a used one be sure to distinguish its top from bottom as it was installed before removal and direct topside upward).

5. Piston ring to piston:
- When using marked rings: First and second piston ring(s) have R or T mark. When installing these piston rings to piston, face the marked side of each ring to the top of piston.
- Upper compression ring differs from lower compression ring in thickness, shape and color of the surface contacting cylinder wall.
- When installing oil ring, install the spacer first and then the two rails.

6. After installing compression and oil rings, align their end gaps.
