Install two connecting rod guide pins, Part No. 3375601.
Use a ‘‘T-handle’’ piston pusher to push the rod away
from the crankshaft.
NOTE: Push the rod away from the crankshaft, over the
crankshaft rod journal, and push the rod until the piston
rings are outside of the top of the cylinder liner.
Remove the piston and rod assembly.
NOTE: The piston and connecting rod assemblies must be
installed in the same cylinder number from which they were
removed to make sure correct fit of worn mating surfaces if
parts are to be used again.
Use a tag to mark the cylinder number from which each
piston and rod assembly was removed.
NOTE: The pistons must have the cylinder numbers
stamped on the piston top toward the camshaft side of the
engine.
Put the rod and piston assemblies in a stand to protect
them from damage.
Caution: The rod cap alpha-numeric characters must
match the alpha-numeric characters on the connecting
rod and must be installed with the characters aligned to
prevent damage to the connecting rods and the
crankshaft.
