Connecting Rod Code Location
Numbers have been stamped on the side of each con-
necting rod as a code for the size of the big end. Use
lhem, and the letters stamped on the crankshaft (codes
for rod journal size), to choose the correct bearings.
lf the codes are indeciDherable because of an accumula-
tion of dirt and dust, do not scrub them with a wire
brush or scraper. Clean them only with solvent or deter-
gent.

lf you can feel a ridge of metal or hard carbon
around the top of each cvlinder, remove it with a
ridge reamer. Follow the reamer manufacturer's
instructions. lf the ridge is not removed, it may

removing each piston/connecting rod assembly.
To avoid mixup on reassembly, mark each piston/
connecting rod assembly with its cylinder number.
NOTE: The existing number on the connecting rod
does not indicate its position in the engine, it indi-
cates the rod bore size.

Inspection
1. Clean the crankshaft oil passages with pipe cleaners
or a suitable brush.
2. Check the keyway and threads.
Alignment
3. Measure the runout on all main journals to make
sure the crank is not bent. The difference between
measurements on each journal must not be more
than the service limit.

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.

NOTE: Whenever any crankshaft or connecting rod
bearing is replaced, it is necessary after reassembly
to run the engine at idling speed until it reaches
normal operating temperature, then continue to run
it for approximatelY 15 minutes.
