• Before removing the piston pin clip, cover the
crankcase opening with a clean rag to pre-
vent the piston pin clip from falling into the
crankcase.
• For reference during installation, put an iden-
tification mark on each piston crown.
• Before removing the piston pin, deburr the
piston pin clip's groove and the piston's pin
bore area. If both areas are deburred and the
