INSTALLATION

WARNING
To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause death or serious injury, disconnect battery cables (negative (-) cable first) before proceeding. (00307a)

WARNING
Disconnect negative (-) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00049a)

WARNING
When servicing the fuel system, do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks in the vicinity. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. (00330a)
NOTICE
Do not exceed the maximum safe RPM specified below under any conditions. Exceeding the maximum safe engine RPM can result in equipment damage. (00248a)
Cast pistons should not be used when engine speeds are expected to exceed 6000 RPM. Failure to do so may result in engine damage.
Disassembly - Follow the procedures in the ENGINE section of the Service Manual to remove cylinder heads, cylinders and pistons.
Inspection Of Parts - Follow the procedures in the ENGINE section of the Service Manual for Inspection of Parts.
Boring And Honing - Follow the procedures in the ENGINE section of the Service Manual for Boring and Honing instructions.
Assembly - Follow the procedures in the ENGINE section of the Service Manual to install cylinder heads, cylinders and pistons.
