Removing Pistons
1) Turn the crankshaft by 3.14 rad (180°) and bring the
piston to top dead center.
2) Draw out the piston upward by lightly tapping it from the
bottom of the crankcase with the grip of a hammer.
3) Draw out the other two pistons in the same method as
above.
(Note for reassembling)
• Before inserting the pistons into the cylinders, apply
enough engine oil to the pistons.
(J
m portant)
• Install the piston rings with their gaps making an angle
of 2.09 rad (120°) or 3.14 rad (180°) to each other. (Place
the top ring with their gaps on the opposite side of the
combustion chamber.)
• Attach a ring to the pistons securely with a piston ring
compressor, and set them to the cylinder, being careful
about the cylinder number and the position of the con
necting rod (Connecting rods must be installed with their
ends bearing the number toward the fuel injection pump).
• Carefully insert the pistons.
Otherwise, their chrome
plated section may be scratched, causing trouble inside
the liner.
