  2. Remove connecting rod bearing cap nuts and bearing cap. Using a wood rod, push piston, together with connecting rod, upward. Removal sequence is 1, 4, 2, & 3.
    NOTE: Ensure piston and connecting rod are pulled parallel to cylinder wall.
  3. To install piston and rod assembly, position piston so notch mark on crown of piston is facing front of engine. Align cylinder number marks on connecting rods so they will be on right-hand side of front mark on piston.
