(12) Position piston rings so that no two gaps are aligned.
CAUTION
Use care to insure that connecting rod is properly aligned with crankshaft connecting
rod bearing journal and that the precombustion chamber is away from the camshaft
side of the engine. Failure to observe this caution could result in equipment damage.
(13) With piston rings compressed, use a hammer handle or wooden dowel to force piston down into
cylinder bore.

and pull connecting rod down to crankshaft.
(15) Place a short strip of plastic gauge on crankshaft and install lower half of connecting rod bearing,
connecting rod bearing cap (2) and screws (1). Tighten screws to 70 Ib-ft torque.
(16) Remove screws and connecting rod bearing cap to remove plastic gauge.
(17) Check plastic gauge against standard to determine bearing clearance. Clearance shall be 0.0010 to
0.0030 inch.
(18) When clearance is established, install lower bearing half, bearing cap and screws (step 16, above).
(19) Install timing gear housing and assembly.
