NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, can cause engine failure.

NOTICE: During engine assembly do not allow the piston connecting rods to come in contact with the piston cooling jets or engine damage may occur.

NOTE: During engine assembly it may become necessary to check bearing clearances and end play.
