number each piston from one to four so that it
can be identified with the bore from which it

Taking care not to damage the bores, push
each connecting rod and piston, in turn, up

cylinder block combustion face. As each piston
assembly is removed fit the corresponding cap
and bearing shell to the connecting rod noting
that t he shell locating tags are together o n the
