• Before removing piston and connecting rod assembly, check the connecting rod side clearance. Refer to

EM-101, "Inspection"

.

a.

Position crankshaft pin corresponding to connecting rod to be removed onto the bottom dead center. 

b.

Remove connecting rod cap. 

c.

Using a hammer handle or similar tool, push piston and connect-
ing rod assembly out to the cylinder head side. 

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to damage matching surface with connect-

ing rod cap.

• Be careful not to damage the cylinder wall and crankshaft

pin, resulting from an interference of the connecting rod
big end.

6.
