&
72-60-03).
A.
Before installing each cylinder and piston, rotate crankshaft to place connecting rod in
its outermost position.
B.
Dip piston pin in lubricating oil before installing piston on connecting rod. Lubricate all
cylinder head studs before installation of cylinder assemblies to crankcase.
Lubricate piston
and rings liberally with engine lubricating oil.
C.
Piston ring gaps should be positioned
180"
apart with the first or top ring gap toward
top of piston.
D.
Install pistons and cylinders in desired order.
It is suggested that Nos.
4
and
5
be
installed first to minimize turning of the crankshaft and to prevent excessive unbalance. Turn
the crankshaft for Nos.
2
and
3
and install the assemblies.
Then turn the shaft for Nos.
1
and
6,
and install the last two assemblies.
E.
Place the piston over the connecting rod with the position number on its head forward.
Push the pin through until
it
