For 1990-2009 cars

Important: Many internal engine components will develop specific wear patterns on their friction surfaces.

When disassembling the engine, internal components MUST be separated, marked, or organized in a way to ensure reinstallation to their original location and position.

Separate, mark, or organize the following components:

• | Piston and the piston pin

• | Piston to the specific cylinder bore

• | Piston rings to the piston

• | Connecting rod to the crankshaft journal

• | Connecting rod to the bearing cap

| A paint stick or etching/engraving type tool are recommended. Stamping the connecting rod or cap near the bearing bore may affect component geometry.

• | Crankshaft main and connecting rod bearings

• | Camshaft and valve lifters

• | Valve lifters, lifter guides, pushrods and rocker arm assemblies

• | Valve to the valve guide

• | Valve spring and shim to the cylinder head location

• | Engine block main bearing cap location and direction

• | Oil pump drive and driven gears
