How to Use: Step 1 - Wipe the cylinder bores with a clean, lint free towel and apply a small amount of conventional (non-synthetic) oil to the walls, wrist pins and piston rings.
- Use enough to lubricate the rings as they pass through the piston ring compressor.
- Liberally coat the compressor with oil. No need to be dripping wet.

| Step 2 Rotate the crankshaft so the rod journal for the piston you’re installing is at Top Dead Center. Place the piston/ring compressor combination over the cylinder bore. Always do the following before sliding the piston into the bore: - If the piston is domed, the dome should be to the outside of the block.
- Check that the chamfer on the connecting rod (and rod bearing) is facing the fillet radius on the crankshaft.
- Make sure the oil rings’ expander ring end gaps haven’t overlapped.
- Cover rod bolt ends with protectors to prevent crank damage during installation.
- Coat the connecting rod bearings with assembly lube.
|
Step 3 - It’s often possible to hand-push the piston and rod assembly into the bore, guiding the rod so that it falls in place over the crankshaft rod journal.
- Other times you will need to very light tap the assembly in with the handle end of a clean plastic hammer.
- If you need excessive force to push the piston through the ring compressor into the bore, it usually means the oil ring expander rails are overlapped.
| |
| Step 4 - Rotate the engine on the engine stand.
- Coat the bearing in the rod cap end with assembly lube and install.
- You can install the rod cap nuts and torque to specifications at this point, provided you’ve checked the bearing clearances.
- Repeat this sequence on the rest of the piston/rod assemblies.
