Cylinder / Piston Removal
CAUTION
Pistons must be removed from the cylinders with the
connecting rods attached.
DO NOT attempt to service the cylinder or pistons
without disassembling the crankcase. Although you can
remove the cylinder and pistons without disassembly,
you will not be able to reassemble the engine because
of the unique cylinder skirt and crankcase design.
1. Perform ENGINE DISASSEMBLY / INSPECTION -
TOP END, page 3.33 and the ENGINE
DISASSEMBLY / INSPECTION - LOWER END,
page 3.44 procedures.
2. Rotate the engine so the cylinder is facing up.
3. Remove the Cylinder Holding & Camshaft Timing
Plate (PU-50563)
from the cylinder.
4. Carefully lift the cylinder and pistons from the upper
crankcase.
5. Remove the piston / connecting rod assemblies from
the cylinder.
NOTE: If the pistons are to be reused, mark the
pistons so they are reassembled in the same
cylinder bore and direction from which they were
removed (MAG / PTO).
