Removal (0-64)
Mark each rod cap according to cylinder.
Rotate the engine on the rebuild stand so the
cylinder bores are in a horizontal position.
Rotate the crankshaft so the pistons are below the
carbon deposits above the ring travel area.
Use a scraper or a blunt edged instrument to
loosen the carbon deposits. Do not damage the
cylinder with the scraper.
