rod alignment fixture tool or other
suitable aligning equipment. Since
many makes are in use, it is recom-
mended that the tool manufacturer's
instructions be followed to assure
that the rod is not bent or twisted
beyond the specified limits.
6. Check the piston ring gap and
side clearance (Part 8-1, Section 2) .
7. Install the rings on the pistons
from which they were removed or to
which they were fitted (Fig. 44). The
lower compression ring must be as-
sembled with the outside counter-
bore down with respect to the dome
of the piston.
8. When spacing the ring gaps on
the piston, the oil ring spacer ex-
pander gap "A" must be opposite
from the raised projections on the
dome of the piston with the oil ring
segment gaps "B" staggered one
i~ch
to each side (Fig. 52). CompressiOn
ring gaps "C" are to be 150° on
each side· of the oil ring expander
gap (Fig. 52).

under the filter assembly.
2. Turn the filter counterclockwise
and remove it from the adapter. Dis-
connect the oil pressure sending unit
lead wire. Remove the sending unit.
3. Remove the bolts securing the
adapter to the cylinder block. Re-
move the adapter and gasket.
INSTALLATION
1. Clean the gasket surfaces at
the cylinder block and adapter. Coat
a new adapter gasket with an oil-
resistant sealer and position it on the
cylinder block.
2.
