New pistons are stamped “EXH.” These markings
should be turned toward the exhaust (PORT) side
of the block.
Insert a new wrist pin bearing into the connecting
rod. Remove the outer needle retaining band.
Leave the cardboard center retainer in place.
Insert Bearing Installer, P/N 338646, into the con-
necting rod. Remove the cardboard retainer as
the tool is installed.
Apply outboard lubricant to the wrist pin bore,
wrist pin bearings and wrist pin.
Install wrist pin into the piston.
Place the connecting rod with bearing into the pis-
ton.
IMPORTANT: Make sure:
• to hold the bearing installer in place to prevent
bearing needles from falling out of place.
• the alignment dots on the connecting rod are
facing the top of the piston.
NOTICE
