5.7 Hemi – PISTON & CONNECTING ROD – STANDARD PROCEDURE

PISTON FITTING
1. To correctly select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge (2), capable of reading in 0.003 mm (0.0001 in.)          INCREMENTS is required. If a bore gauge is not available, do not use an inside micrometer.
2. Measure the inside diameter of the cylinder bore at a point 38.0 mm (1.5 inches) below top of bore (4).
Start perpendicular (across or at 90 degrees) to the axis of the crankshaft at point A (1) and then take an                        additional bore reading 90 degrees to that at point B (1).
3. The coated pistons will be serviced with the piston pin and connecting rod pre-assembled. The piston rod                       assembly is specific for the left cylinder bank (odd numbered) and the right cylinder bank (even numbered) and           must not be interchanged.
4. Measure the piston diameter with a micrometer at points (1,2).
