Removing pistons with connecting rods

1. Remove the cylinder heads.

2. Remove the engine oil pan.

3. Turn the crankshaft in such a way as to obtain the most convenient access to the necessary connecting rod bolts.

4. Unscrew the connecting rod bolts and remove the connecting rod cover with the lower connecting rod bearing.

Note.

• Mark the connecting rod caps for correct installation later.
• The connecting surfaces of the connecting rods and connecting rod caps are uniquely shaped for installation in the only possible position, so that the connecting rods and connecting rod caps are not allowed to fall. Do not process the parting surfaces.

5. Remove any carbon deposits from the surface of the upper part of the cylinder.

6. Push the piston with the connecting rod out of the cylinder through the top.

7. Similarly, remove the pistons with connecting rods from the remaining cylinders.

Attention. Be careful not to damage the cylinder bore surface, piston rings and piston surfaces.
