6. Remove the bolts. To prevent warpage, unscrew the
bolts in sequence 1/3 turn at a time; repeat the
sequence until all bolts are loosened.

Reinstall the main caps and bearings on the engine
in proper order.
lf you can feel a ridge of metal or hard carbon
around the top of each cvlinder, remove it with a
ridge reamer. Follow the reamer manufacturer's
instructions. lf the ridge is not removed, it may
damage the pistons as they 8re pushed out.

Use the wooden handle of a hammer to drive the
pistons out.
13.Reinstall the connecting rod bearings and caps after
removing each piston/connecting rod assembly.
To avoid mixup on reassembly, mark each piston/
connecting rod assembly with its cylinder number.
NOTE: The existing number on the connecting rod
does not indicate its position in the engine, it indi-
cates the rod bore size.

Installation
1. Apply a coat of engine oil to the ring grooves andcylinder bores.
It the crankshaft is already installed.
2. Set the crankshatt to BDC for each cylinder.3. Remove the connecting rod caps, and slip short sections of rubber hose over the threaded ends of theconnecting rod bolts.
4. lnstall the ring compressor, and check that the bear-ang is securely in place.
5. Position the piston in the cylinder, and tap it in usingthe wooden handle of a hammer. Maintain down-ward force on the ring compressor to prevent ringstrom expanding before entering the cylinder bore.6. Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and checkthe connecting rod-to-crank journal alignmentbefore pushing piston into place.
7. Install the rod caps with bearings, and torque theNUIS IO:

Apply a coat of engine oil to the main bearings androd bearings.
Insert the bearing halves in the cylinder block andconnect|ng rods.
Hold the crankshaft so the rod journals for cylindersNo.2 and No. 3 are straight down.
Lower the crankshaft into the block, seating the rodjournals into connecting rods No.2 and No.3.Install the rod caps and nuts finger tight.

Rotate the crankshaft clockwise, and seat the jour
nals into connecting rods No. 1 and No. 4, Install
the rod caps and nuts finger-tight. Install the capsso the bearing recess is on the same side as therecess an the rod.
Check the rod bearing clearance with plastigage(see page 7 8). then lorque the capnuts.

NOTE: Whenever any crankshaft or connecting rod
bearing is replaced, it is necessary after reassembly
to run the engine at idling speed until it reaches
normal operating temperature, then continue to run
it for approximatelY 15 minutes.
10.Clean and dry the right side cover mating surfaces.
Apply liquid gasket, part No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718

NOTE:
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or more
have elapsed since applying the liquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing the
old residue.
. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before
