Assembly bushing in connecting rod, making
sure that lubrication holes are aligned.
Machine bushing inner diameter.
2. Assembly piston in connecting rod, with
combustion chamber turned to the same
side of the shell lock. Manually install pin and
snap rings. If it is difficult to assembly the pin,
heat the piston in water or oil at 80 °C (176
°F). The piston must be carefully handled,
because any damage on its surfaces may
cause bad engine operation. Assembly
connecting rod and piston in the same
cylinder whether they have not been
replaced.
