Bar the crankshaft so the rod journal for the piston to be
installed is at Bottom Dead Center (BDC).
Caution: Be sure 'Front' marking on piston
and the numbers on the rod and cap are
oriented as illustrated.
Caution: Use care when you install the
piston and connecting rod so the cylinder
bore is not damaged.
Position the piston and rod assembly into cylinder bore
with the word " Front" on piston towards the front of the
cylinder block.
Push the piston into the bore until the top of the piston is
approximately 50mm [2 inches] below the top of the
bore.
Then, pull the connecting rod onto the crankshaft
journal.
