NOTE: Sometimes a ridge of carbon builds up where the
cylinder meets the head. If this happens, the piston
can be removed from inside of the cylinder block.

NOTE: The piston, rings and connecting rod are currently
not available as service parts. If they are damaged
or worn, the engine must be short blocked.
21. Remove the crankshaft.
NOTE: The crankshaft bearings are pressed onto the
crankshaft and will come out with it.
