Installation
1. Apply a coat of engine oil to the ring grooves andcylinder bores.
It the crankshaft is already installed.
2. Set the crankshatt to BDC for each cylinder.3. Remove the connecting rod caps, and slip short sections of rubber hose over the threaded ends of theconnecting rod bolts.
4. lnstall the ring compressor, and check that the bear-ang is securely in place.
5. Position the piston in the cylinder, and tap it in usingthe wooden handle of a hammer. Maintain down-ward force on the ring compressor to prevent ringstrom expanding before entering the cylinder bore.6. Stop after the ring compressor pops free, and checkthe connecting rod-to-crank journal alignmentbefore pushing piston into place.
7. Install the rod caps with bearings, and torque theNUIS IO:

Installation
Apply a coat of engine oil to the main bearings androd bearings.
Insert the bearing halves in the cylinder block andconnect|ng rods.
Hold the crankshaft so the rod journals for cylindersNo.2 and No. 3 are straight down.
Lower the crankshaft into the block, seating the rodjournals into connecting rods No.2 and No.3.Install the rod caps and nuts finger tight.

Rotate the crankshaft clockwise, and seat the jour
nals into connecting rods No. 1 and No. 4, Install
the rod caps and nuts finger-tight. Install the capsso the bearing recess is on the same side as therecess an the rod.
Check the rod bearing clearance with plastigage(see page 7 8). then lorque the capnuts.
