19) Install the circlip.
Install the circlips in piston holes located opposite
of service holes in cylinder block, when positioning
all pistons in the corresponding cylinders.NOTE:
Use new circlips.
20) Installing the piston:
(1) Turn the cylinder block so that #1 and #2 cyl-
inders face upward.
(2) Using the ST1, turn the crankshaft so that
#1 and #2 connecting rods are set at bottom
dead center.
