Installing Pistons

When all pistons and connecting rods are assem-
bled, install piston ring sets. Be sure rings are
installed in the cylinder used to test ring end gap.
Refer to Powerhead Inspection on p. 251.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure gap of ring fits squarely
around dowel pin.
NOTICE
Before continuing, make sure that all Three-
bond sealant has been removed from the cyl-
inder block and crankcase mating flanges. If
traces of hardened sealant are left, main
bearings could be misaligned. Refer to Cylin-
der Block Cleaning on p. 250.
Coat pistons, rings, cylinder walls, and ring com-
pressor with outboard lubricant.
Center connecting rod in piston and locate piston
rings on dowel pins. Place appropriate ring com-
pressor on piston.
