Get rid of any grooves at the top ring travel limit before removing piston/ connecting rod assemblies if there are any. Position the engine in relation to the
Crankshaft such that the crankshaft faces upwards. Use a feeler gauge to determine whether there is adequate play between the parts and, if not, consult an automotive machine shop. Make sure you mark all the rods and caps for identification purposes. Loosen bolts on connecting rod cap then take off the cap and bearing insert. Push out connecting rod/piston assembly through top of engine. Repeat for other cylinders. Fasten down with finger tight bearing inserts and reassemble rod caps. Check ring end gap on pistons then set if necessary. Fit rings into position starting with oil control ring." Last sentence is: Ensure smooth rotation of upper and lower side rails." Put in place middle and top rings." Clean cylinder walls thoroughly; chamfer upper edge of each cylinder bore." Put back piston/connecting rod assemblies having ensured that front mark on piston is facing toward front of engine" "Tap cylinder using hammer handle as piston enters it." Check connecting rod bearing oil clearance with Plastigage while greasing or applying engine assembly lube to bearing faces then reinstall rod caps." Repeat for other pistons/connecting rods". Turn crankshaft manually to test for binding; re-examine play between connecting rods after this process".
