REMARKS
INSTALLATION (Cont)
a. Install upper bearing shell
(1) in connecting rod (2).
Lubricate. The upper bearing
shell does not have a contin-
uous oil groove. Lubricate
the bearing shell with clean
engine oil.
NOTE
Each connecting rod and its cap is numbered on one side 1, 2, etc. These numbers
identify the caps with the rods and indicate the particular cylinder in which they are used.
Maintain these positions when assembling the engine.
b. Position the piston rod and
liner assembly (3) in front
of the cylinder block bore
so the identification number
on the rod face the outer
edge of the cylinder block
and the matchmarks on the
liner and the block are in
alignment. Guide the end of
the connecting rod through
the block bore carefully to
avoid damaging or dislodging
the bearing shell. Slide
the piston, rod and liner
assembly straight into the
block bore until the liner
flange rests against the
insert in the counterbore in
the block.
c.
Push or pull the piston and
connecting rod (2) into the
liner until the upper bearing
shell is firmly seated on
the crankshaft journal.
