IMPORTANT: Never re-use a piston pin circlip.
NOTE: If reinstalling the original connecting rods,
orientate the rods the same as when removed. If new
connecting rods are being installed, they can be
installed either way (there is no piston pin offset in
the rod), however it is recommended they be
installed with rods facing the same direction.
3. Place piston (A) on connecting rod (B). Push piston
pin (C) through rod and piston until it seats against the
installed circlip.
IMPORTANT: Do not tap on pin or cause any sideways
force to connecting rod. Warm piston crown with a
heat gun if pin cannot be installed by hand, or use a
piston pin installation tool.
4. Install the remaining circlip (D) with gap at the top
(12:00 position) or bottom (6:00 position). Push the
piston pin in both directions to make sure the clips are
properly seated in the groove.
Cylinder / Piston Installation
NOTE: If the pistons are being reused, reassemble
in the same cylinder bore and direction from which
they were removed (MAG / PTO).
NOTE: New pistons are directional (intake vs.
exhaust), but can be placed in either cylinder.
1. Apply clean engine oil to each piston assembly,
cylinder bore and bottom tapered portion of each
cylinder sleeve.
2. Verify that all ring end gaps are correctly located on
each piston (see “Piston Ring Installation”).
3. Note the piston orientation mark (arrow) located on
top of the piston. Arrow should point toward the
exhaust side.
NOTE: Orientation arrow is also located on the
bottom side of piston as an additional reference.
CAUTION
DO NOT apply heat to piston rings or a loss of
radial tension could result.

CAUTION
Pistons must be installed into 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.
