| 3. | Remove the oil pan. |
| 4. | Remove the oil pump. |
| 5. | Remove the cylinder head. |
| 6. | Remove the baffle plates. |
| 7. | Remove the 8 mm bolts. |
| 8. | Remove the bearing cap bolts. To prevent warpage, unscrew the bolts in sequence 1/3 turn at a time: repeat the sequence until all bolts are loosened. |
| 9. | Remove the lower block and bearings. Keep all bearings in order. |
| 10. | Remove the rod caps/bearings. Keep all caps/bearings in order. |

| 12. | Remove the upper bearing halves from the connecting rods, and set them aside with their respective caps. |
| 13. | If you can feel a ridge of metal or hard carbon around the top of each cylinder, remove it with a ridge reamer (A). Follow the reamer manufacturer's instructions. If the ridge is not removed, it may damage the pistons as they are pushed out. |

| 15. | Reinstall the lower block and bearings on the engine in the proper order. |
| 16. | Reinstall the connecting rod bearings and caps after removing each piston/connecting rod assembly. |
| 17. | To avoid mixup on reassembly, mark each piston/connecting rod assembly with its cylinder number. NOTE: The existing number on the connecting rod does not indicate its position in the engine, it indicates the rod bore size. |
