Before the piston and connecting rod assemblies are replaced, the cylinder head and oil pan have to be in particular taken out. First check for any ridges at the upper limit of ring travel in each cylinder and, if they have not been previously ground off, they should be removed with a ridge reamer to prevent piston failure. Once the ridges are gone, orient the engine with the crankshaft vertical and measure and check the connecting rod end clearance with feelers that should fall to a specific range; if they do not, it may be necessary to replace connecting rods and pistons. Ensure you differentiate between the connecting rods and caps so that you do not confuse them; then undo the connecting rod cap bolts progressively till you can remove them by turning them with your fingers. To do so, remove the first connecting rod cap and bearing insert repeatedly and gently, and push the connecting rod and the piston assembly in the upward direction through the top of the automobiles' engine, making sure that all the ridges have been detached. Perform this for the rest of the cylinders and then place the caps and inserts back for shielding of the bearing surface. For piston ring installation make sure that the ring end gaps are correct, and the piston ring side clearance also. Place the oil control ring followed by the middle and the top rings though it is important to place the rings in the right manner. Before actually placing the piston assemblies, it is equally important that the cylinder walls and the edges in particular are thoroughly cleaned, and the crankshaft well positioned. New bearing inserts should be fitted without lubrication and should fit correctly and be positioned in the piston ring gaps. grease the piston then the rings; then, in a piston ring compressor, place the piston into the cylinder and oil the cylinder walls. Following the installation, verify the +oil clearance of the connecting rod bearing with Plastigage before fitting the cylinder and crankcase side. ALWAYS, where possible make sure the surface is clean of debris. If the clearance is out of permitted range, check the bearing sizes and the diameter of journal. Last, remove any Plastigage deposit over the bearings, relube the bearing surfaces with a grease, and tight the rod cap as in the previous process for all the assemblies, while being wary of cleanliness and orienting the thrusts in the correct form. Following that, turn the crankshaft in order to ensure that there are no signs of binding and, once again, verify the amount of end float of the connecting rod as this figure should not exceed the permissible limit.
