by approximately four rotates. Lightly hit the heads
of the setscrews with a soft face hammer to
separate the connecting rod from the bearing cap.

the cap, but keep it with its relevant cap.
7 Carefully push the connecting rod up the cylinder
bore just enough to allow access to the upper half
of the shell bearing. Remove the bearing from the
connecting rod. Keep the bearings from the
connecting rod and cap together.
Caution: Do not allow the connecting rod to hit the
piston cooling jet, if fitted.
