  2. Ensure pistons, connecting rods and rod caps are marked for reassembly reference. Clean carbon from top of cylinder bores. Remove connecting rod caps. Install protective hose over connecting rod studs.
  3. Push connecting rod and piston assembly out through top of cylinder block. Remove piston rings. Remove wrist-pin circlips and push piston wrist-pin out by hand.
