Lightly tap the top of the piston with a wooden hammerhandle.When installing the piston and the connecting rod, thestamped mark on the piston must point to the front of theengine.Hold theEN-8037compressorfirmly against the engine block until all the piston ringshave entered the cylinder bore.Install the connecting rod caps onto their originalconnecting rods.Align the numbers placed on the connecting rod and theconnecting rod cap during removal.

Caution:Refer toFastener Caution.

Install the new connecting rod bolts and nuts.On the first pass, tighten the nuts evenly to25-Y(18-lb-ft).On the final pass, use theEN-45059meterin order to tighten the nutsan additional100-degrees.
