When replacing the shell bearings, be sure and replace a
complete bearing (both halves). Be sure piston and
connecting rod assemblies are put back into the same
bore from which they were removed. The piston skirt is
camground to an elliptical contour. Clearance between
the piston and cylinder must be measured at the center
of the thrust face of the piton skirt. Refer to table 1-1.
The thrust faces on the piston skin are 90 degrees from
the axis of the piston pin hole. When reassembling the
piston and connecting rod to the engine, be sure the
arrow on the top of the piston is pointing in the direction
of crankshaft rotation. (Clockwise when viewing the
flywheel end of the engine. Tighten connecting rod nuts
e. Installation.
Install the baffle plates and
connecting rods and piston assemblies in reverse of
instructions in subparagraph a above.
Note. Install piston in number one and three
cylinder so that the slit in the piston skirts face the enter
of the engine. The slits in pistons two and four must face
away from the center of the engine.
