5. Place the piston on a suitable surface with the
crown downward. Install the connecting rod (6)
and the piston pin (8) to the piston (4). Ensure that
the square (13) on the piston, and the slot (14)
on the connecting rod are in the correct position.
See illustration 293.
Note: If the piston pin cannot be installed by hand,
heat the piston to a temperature of 45° ± 5°C
(113° ± 9°F).
6. Use Tooling (A) in order to install the circlips (5) to
the piston pin bore in the piston (4).
Note: Ensure that the circlips are seated in the
grooves in the piston.
7. Install the upper bearing shell (9) into the
connecting rod (6). Ensure that the locating tab for
the upper bearing shell is correctly seated in the
slot in the connecting rod.
8. Install the lower bearing shell (10) into the
connecting rod cap (11). Ensure that the locating
tab for the lower bearing shell is correctly seated
in the slot in the connecting rod cap.
9. Repeat Steps 2 through 8 for the remaining piston
and connecting rod assemblies.
Note: Fracture split connecting rods should not
be left without the connecting rod caps installed.
After the assembly procedure for the piston and
connecting rod is completed, carry out the installation
procedure as soon as possible. Refer to Disassembly
