must be installed in their original positions.
Clean the bearings, crank pins and bearing
portions of the connecting rods.
Install the upper half of the bearing into the
connecting rod and the lower half of the bear-
ing into the connecting rod cap.

pin.
Assemble the connecting rod halves.
Do not move the connecting rod or crank-
