Disassembly and assembly

Illustration 290 g03001196
Typical example
Note: Do not stamp the connecting rod assembly.
Stamping or punching the connecting rod assembly
could cause the connecting rod to fracture.
3. The connecting rod and the connecting rod cap
should have an etched number in Position (X).
The number on the connecting rod and the
connecting rod cap must match. Ensure that
connecting rod (3) and connecting rod cap (1) are
marked for the correct location. If necessary, make
a temporary mark on the connecting rod and the
connecting rod cap in order to identify the cylinder
number and orientation of the assembly.
4. Remove the bolts (2) and remove connecting rod
cap (1) from connecting rod (3).
5. Rotate crankshaft so that the required piston is at
top center position.

Typical example
6. Carefully push piston (4) and the connecting rod
out of the cylinder bore. Lift piston (4) out of the
top of the cylinder block.
Note: Do not apply force to the fracture split surfaces
of the connecting rod as damage may result.
7. Temporarily install connecting rod cap (1) and bolts
(2) to connecting rod (3) when the assembly is out
of the engine. Ensure that the etched number on
connecting rod cap matches the etched number
on connecting rod . Ensure the correct orientation
of the connecting rod cap . The locating tab for the
upper bearing shell and the lower bearing shell
should be on the same side. Tighten bolts (2) to a
torque of 20 N·m (177 lb in).
8. Repeat Step 1 through Step 7in order to remove
the remaining pistons and connecting rods.
