Take readings at three or four points
around the sleeve and use the average
reading to determine which shim, if any, is
needed to bring the protrusion within the

5.
Install the piston end rod assembly into the
piston ring compressor.
NOTE: The piston and rod assemblies can be
installed by turning the crankshaft only three times.
Position the No. I and 6 crankpins at TDC. Install
the No. 1 and 6 piston assemblies. Repeat this
procedure for the Nos. 2 and 5 and Nos. 3 and 4
