head and cylinder No. stamped on connecting rod being posi-
tioned as shown in the figure.
c. Install snap ring to front side of piston.
Refer to above step a for precaution on snap ring installation.
After installation, check connecting rods for smooth move-
ment.
11. Use the piston ring expander (commercial service tool) to install piston rings.
