PROCEDURE


  1. REMOVE PISTON SUB-ASSEMBLY WITH CONNECTING ROD


    1. Check that the matchmarks on the connecting rod sub-assembly and connecting rod cap are aligned.

      Tech Tips

      The matchmarks on the connecting rod sub-assembly and connecting rod cap are guides for correct reassembly.

    2. B006MAOC01
      B006LKF Front of Engine

      Remove the 2 connecting rod cap bolts.

    3. B006MK7

      Using the 2 removed connecting rod cap bolts, remove the connecting rod cap and lower connecting rod bearing by wiggling the connecting rod cap right and left.

      Tech Tips

      Keep the lower connecting rod bearing installed to the connecting rod cap.

    4. B006PDNC05
      *a Ridge Reamer

      Using a ridge reamer, remove all of the carbon from the top of the cylinder.

    5. Push the piston, connecting rod sub-assembly and upper connecting rod bearing through the top of the cylinder block sub-assembly.

      Tech Tips


      • Keep the connecting rod bearing, connecting rod sub-assembly and connecting rod cap together.

      • Arrange the removed parts in such away that they can be reinstalled to their original locations.

  2. REMOVE CONNECTING ROD BEARING


    1. Remove the connecting rod bearings from the connecting rod sub-assembly and connecting rod cap.

      Tech Tips

      Arrange the removed parts in such away that they can be reinstalled to their original locations.

  3. REMOVE PISTON RING SET


    1. B006O7OC03
      *a Piston Ring Expander

      Using a piston ring expander, remove the No. 1 compression ring and No. 2 compression ring.

    2. Remove the oil ring expander and 2 side rails by hand.

      Tech Tips

      Arrange the removed parts in such away that they can be reinstalled to their original locations.

  4. REMOVE PISTON


    1. B006KL2

      Check the fitting condition between the piston and piston pin.


      1. Try to move the piston back and forth on the piston pin.

        Tech Tips

        If abnormal movement is felt, replace the piston and piston pin as a set.

    2. B006RK6

      Remove the connecting rod sub-assembly from the piston.


      1. Using a screwdriver, pry out the piston pin hole snap rings from the piston.

      2. B006MX5

        Gradually heat the piston to approximately 80°C (176°F).

        CAUTION:

        Be sure to wear protective gloves.

      3. B006N81

        Using a brass bar and a hammer, lightly tap out the piston pin and remove the connecting rod sub-assembly.

        Tech Tips


        • The piston and piston pin are a matched set.

        • Arrange the removed parts in such away that they can be reinstalled to their original locations.

    3. B006PRK

      Using a gasket scraper, remove any carbon from the piston top.

      Note

      Be careful not to scratch the piston.

    4. B006KRR

      Using a groove cleaning tool or a broken ring, clean the piston ring grooves.

    5. B006N6R

      Using solvent and a brush, thoroughly clean the piston.

      Note

      Do not use a wire brush.

  5. REMOVE CRANKSHAFT
