(2) Check that the  crankshaft turns smoothly.
10. Check crankshaft end play.
11. Install the  piston and connecting rod assemblies.
a.Before  installing the  pistons, apply  a  coat of engine  oil  to the  ring grooves  and cylinder bores.
b. When installing the  piston,  ensure that the  coat on the  cylinder wall is not  damaged  or scratched.
(1) Install the  ring compressor, check that the  bearing is securely in  place, then  position the  piston in  the  cylinder,
and tap  it in  using  the  wooden handle  of a  hammer.
(2) Stop inserting  the  piston when  the  ring inserted  in  the  cylinder and check the  alignment of the  journal  and the
connecting rod.
(3) Apply engine  oil  to the  bolt threads. Install the  rod caps with  bearings, and torque the  bolts.
