Disassembly And Assembly

DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove connecting rod bearings (6211) from connecting rod (6200) and cap.
2. Remove piston rings using a suitable piston ring expander.
3. Mark piston (6108) to ensure assembly with same connecting rod and installation in same cylinders from which they were removed.
4. Using an arbor press and Piston Pin Remover and Replacer T68P-6135-A, press piston pin (6135) from piston and connecting rod.





ASSEMBLY
Check the fit of a new piston in the cylinder bore before assembling piston and piston pin to connecting rod.

The piston pin bore of a connecting rod and diameter of piston pin must be within specification.

1. Apply light coat of clean engine oil to all parts.
2. Start piston pin in piston and connecting rod (this may require a very light tap with a mallet). Using an Arbor Press and Piston Pin Remover and Replacer T68P-6135-A, press piston pin through piston until the piston pin is centered.
3. Check end gaps of all piston rings. It must be within specification. Follow instructions contained on piston ring package and install piston rings.
