connecting rod; secure with new circlips.
CAUTION: Ensure circlips are fully seated
in their grooves.
4.Repeat above procedures for remaining pistons.
5.Lubricate piston rings and cylinder bores with
engine oil.
6.Check that rings are free to rotate, position ring
gaps at 120°to each other and away from the
thrust - LH side of piston - viewed from front of
piston.
7.Using a suitable piston ring clamp, compress
piston rings.
8.Insert connecting rod and piston into its
respective cylinder bore, ensuring that the arrow
on piston crown and the cast boss on connecting
rod are facing towards the front of the cylinder
block.
CAUTION: Ensure that connecting rod
does not contact cylinder bore or oil squirt
jet. Do not pull connecting rod fully down
cylinder bore at this stage.
