What steps should be taken to properly inspect and prepare piston/connecting rod assemblies before reassembly on Ford Bronco?

Before the inspection process can be done the piston/connecting rod assemblies have to be cleaned and most especially the original piston rings should be taken off the pistons during the inspection and replacement process to ensure that new piston rings are always used. Take the rings using a piston ring expander in order to remove them from the pistons without damaging them. Clean up all that carbon from the crown of the piston using a hand-held wire brush or fine emery cloth so as not to damage the soft material of the piston through work of a wire brush mounted in a drill motor. Use a tool to clean the piston ring groove that is a metallic scraper to remove carbon from the ring grooves, or a part from the old piston ring if a tool cannot be obtained but make sure do not bend the metal or scratch the grooves. If the deposits are removed, clean the piston/rod assemblies with the solvent, blow with the compressed air to dry while making sure that the oil return holes are free. Some conditions that may not require new piston but require the new pistons rings are; If the pistons are not damaged or excessively worn and if the engine block is not rebored then new set of pistons may not be necessary but new set of piston rings must always be used when reconditioning the engine. Check each piston for cracks, scoring, scuffing, holes and burned areas since these are sings of overheating, abnormal combustion or spark knock; all of which require a detailed examination of the cooling and lubrication systems. Pinpoint corrosion can indicate coolant seepage that must be corrected to avoid a recurrence in the rebuilt engine. The piston ring side clearance must be measured with feeler gauges in several positions along each groove while using the correct ring for the groove and if the side clearance is beyond permissible limits, new piston will have to be used. A piston-to-bore clearance should be determined by measuring the bore and piston diameter correctly and calculating the clearance; if the clearance is too great the block will have to be rebored, with new pistons and rings. Check the piston to rod clearances by rotating both the piston and the rod and if there's too much play the assemblies have to be machined, often a task for an automotive machine shop, rebore and new pins may be required. However, if pistons have to be, for instance, removed from the connecting rods, they should also be taken to an automotive machine shop to check for bend and twist. Last, you should inspect connecting rods for cracks and other damages-to do that remove the rod caps, check the bearing surfaces for nicks, or scratches, replace the old bearings, and, finally, fasten the caps.

What are the steps involved in preparing piston/connecting rod assemblies for inspection on Ford Explorer?

The piston/connecting rod assemblies first require cleaning before any inspection could be done and also the original piston rings have to be removed from the pistons and new piston rings must be installed each time. With the help of a piston ring installation tool, retrieve the rings from the pistons without harming the rings in any way. Clean carbon off the top of the piston with a bare hand-held wire brush, or fine emery paper do not use a wire brush in a motor as this tends to wore down the soft alloy of the piston. The carbon buildup should be cleaned from the ring grooves using a piston ring groove cleaning tool, if not available, a fragment of the old ring can be employed, in this way the groove is cleared without scratching the metal, only carbon is to be removed. Once they have been cleaned, the piston/rod assemblies should be wiped clean with solvent and then blow dried with compressed air; the oil return holes on the back side of the ring grooves should be clear. If the pistons and cylinder walls are not scratted or excessively worn and if the engine block is not rebored then new pistons are not always required but new piston rings should always be fitted during a rebuild. Every piston in turn must be examined for fine cracks, scores, scuffs, pierced, and burned area since these may suggest overheated areas or abnormal combustion and recommend a study of the cooling and lubrication systems. Small pitting corrosion may point to coolant seepage into the combustion chamber or crankcase; correction of this is critical to avoid reoccurrence in the reborn engine. To the piston ring side clearance ,place a new piston ring in each groove, the gap should be measure cross several point in the groove in order to obtaining the accurate ring type for the correct groove. the piston to bore clearance can be done by boring a hole whose diameter can be measured and consequently comparing with the piston diameter to arrive at the clearance. If the desired clearance is in excess of the standard, then he block will require reboring and this will translate to change of pistons and of course, the rings. To check piston-to-rod clearance, pinch the piston and rotate the rod in the opposite direction; if the play is large enough, you should correct it, which may involve resizing the bush or buying new ones, as well as new pins at an automotive machine shop. If pistons need to be removed from the connecting rods then it should be also taken to the machine shop to check among other things for a bend and twist. Last, examine the connecting rods for cracks, and damage; lift the rod caps, clean bearing surfaces, look for nicks, or scratches, and replace old bearings and tighten the caps finger tight; in case of a connecting rod knock and if the engine is being rebuilt, new connecting rods are required.

How to install piston/connecting rod assemblies and check connecting rod bearing oil clearance on Ford Ranger?

Prior to screwing the piston and connecting rods onto their respective cylinders, make certain the cylinder walls are free from debris, the top flats of the cylinders are cut at an angle or 'chamfered', and that the crank shaft is connected. Twist the cap off the number one connecting rod being very careful to ensure that you do not mar the bearing surfaces. Clean the back side of the new upper bearing insert and put this into the connecting rod in the same manner as mentioned before with the tab in the recess without hammering. Do the same for the other bearing insert in the rod cap but make sure not to allow any form of contamination. Place the piston ring gaps correctly on the piston then fit a hose on each of the connecting rod cap bolt. After cleaning the piston and the rings apply engine oil on the piston and rings and then place a piston ring compressor and slowly place the piston into position in the cylinder as you make sure that the oil squirt hole is pointing towards the center of the engine. Strike the block side of the ring compressor to bring it into contact then ease the piston into the cylinder as you align the connecting rod on the crankshaft journal without applying undue pressure that can dent the piston or harm the rings. After the installation ensure that the connecting rod bearing oil clearance is checked using Plastigage, and the connecting rod cap has to be installed properly and torqued. Pop off the cap gently so as not to interfere with the Plastigage and then c heck the clearance against indicated measures. If the clearance is found to be incorrect then there must be dirt or oil interference; the journal diameter must be rechecked. Scrape of any Plastigage material, spread grease or assembly lube on the bearing surfaces and replace the connecting rod and cap and tighten to the recommended torque, etc. Continue for the remaining assemblies, make all components clean and appropriate orientation of the piston is maintained. To perform the last step after the installation of the crankshaft, rotate the crankshaft to check binding, and in the last check, check the connecting rod end play according to the specifications used. If new components have been fitted then may be a visit to a machine shop is required for resizing the same.

Ford Piston Parts Questions & Experts Answers

Piston
E6TZ-6108-FB
Q: What steps should be taken to properly inspect and prepare piston/connecting rod assemblies before reassembly on Ford Bronco?
A:
Before the inspection process can be done the piston/connecting rod assemblies have to be cleaned and most especially the original piston rings should be taken off the pistons during the inspection and replacement process to ensure that new piston rings are always used. Take the rings using a piston ring expander in order to remove them from the pistons without damaging them. Clean up all that carbon from the crown of the piston using a hand-held wire brush or fine emery cloth so as not to damage the soft material of the piston through work of a wire brush mounted in a drill motor. Use a tool to clean the piston ring groove that is a metallic scraper to remove carbon from the ring grooves, or a part from the old piston ring if a tool cannot be obtained but make sure do not bend the metal or scratch the grooves. If the deposits are removed, clean the piston/rod assemblies with the solvent, blow with the compressed air to dry while making sure that the oil return holes are free. Some conditions that may not require new piston but require the new pistons rings are; If the pistons are not damaged or excessively worn and if the engine block is not rebored then new set of pistons may not be necessary but new set of piston rings must always be used when reconditioning the engine. Check each piston for cracks, scoring, scuffing, holes and burned areas since these are sings of overheating, abnormal combustion or spark knock; all of which require a detailed examination of the cooling and lubrication systems. Pinpoint corrosion can indicate coolant seepage that must be corrected to avoid a recurrence in the rebuilt engine. The piston ring side clearance must be measured with feeler gauges in several positions along each groove while using the correct ring for the groove and if the side clearance is beyond permissible limits, new piston will have to be used. A piston-to-bore clearance should be determined by measuring the bore and piston diameter correctly and calculating the clearance; if the clearance is too great the block will have to be rebored, with new pistons and rings. Check the piston to rod clearances by rotating both the piston and the rod and if there's too much play the assemblies have to be machined, often a task for an automotive machine shop, rebore and new pins may be required. However, if pistons have to be, for instance, removed from the connecting rods, they should also be taken to an automotive machine shop to check for bend and twist. Last, you should inspect connecting rods for cracks and other damages-to do that remove the rod caps, check the bearing surfaces for nicks, or scratches, replace the old bearings, and, finally, fasten the caps.

Q: What are the steps involved in preparing piston/connecting rod assemblies for inspection on Ford Explorer?
A:
The piston/connecting rod assemblies first require cleaning before any inspection could be done and also the original piston rings have to be removed from the pistons and new piston rings must be installed each time. With the help of a piston ring installation tool, retrieve the rings from the pistons without harming the rings in any way. Clean carbon off the top of the piston with a bare hand-held wire brush, or fine emery paper do not use a wire brush in a motor as this tends to wore down the soft alloy of the piston. The carbon buildup should be cleaned from the ring grooves using a piston ring groove cleaning tool, if not available, a fragment of the old ring can be employed, in this way the groove is cleared without scratching the metal, only carbon is to be removed. Once they have been cleaned, the piston/rod assemblies should be wiped clean with solvent and then blow dried with compressed air; the oil return holes on the back side of the ring grooves should be clear. If the pistons and cylinder walls are not scratted or excessively worn and if the engine block is not rebored then new pistons are not always required but new piston rings should always be fitted during a rebuild. Every piston in turn must be examined for fine cracks, scores, scuffs, pierced, and burned area since these may suggest overheated areas or abnormal combustion and recommend a study of the cooling and lubrication systems. Small pitting corrosion may point to coolant seepage into the combustion chamber or crankcase; correction of this is critical to avoid reoccurrence in the reborn engine. To the piston ring side clearance ,place a new piston ring in each groove, the gap should be measure cross several point in the groove in order to obtaining the accurate ring type for the correct groove. the piston to bore clearance can be done by boring a hole whose diameter can be measured and consequently comparing with the piston diameter to arrive at the clearance. If the desired clearance is in excess of the standard, then he block will require reboring and this will translate to change of pistons and of course, the rings. To check piston-to-rod clearance, pinch the piston and rotate the rod in the opposite direction; if the play is large enough, you should correct it, which may involve resizing the bush or buying new ones, as well as new pins at an automotive machine shop. If pistons need to be removed from the connecting rods then it should be also taken to the machine shop to check among other things for a bend and twist. Last, examine the connecting rods for cracks, and damage; lift the rod caps, clean bearing surfaces, look for nicks, or scratches, and replace old bearings and tighten the caps finger tight; in case of a connecting rod knock and if the engine is being rebuilt, new connecting rods are required.

Q: How to install piston/connecting rod assemblies and check connecting rod bearing oil clearance on Ford Ranger?
A:
Prior to screwing the piston and connecting rods onto their respective cylinders, make certain the cylinder walls are free from debris, the top flats of the cylinders are cut at an angle or 'chamfered', and that the crank shaft is connected. Twist the cap off the number one connecting rod being very careful to ensure that you do not mar the bearing surfaces. Clean the back side of the new upper bearing insert and put this into the connecting rod in the same manner as mentioned before with the tab in the recess without hammering. Do the same for the other bearing insert in the rod cap but make sure not to allow any form of contamination. Place the piston ring gaps correctly on the piston then fit a hose on each of the connecting rod cap bolt. After cleaning the piston and the rings apply engine oil on the piston and rings and then place a piston ring compressor and slowly place the piston into position in the cylinder as you make sure that the oil squirt hole is pointing towards the center of the engine. Strike the block side of the ring compressor to bring it into contact then ease the piston into the cylinder as you align the connecting rod on the crankshaft journal without applying undue pressure that can dent the piston or harm the rings. After the installation ensure that the connecting rod bearing oil clearance is checked using Plastigage, and the connecting rod cap has to be installed properly and torqued. Pop off the cap gently so as not to interfere with the Plastigage and then c heck the clearance against indicated measures. If the clearance is found to be incorrect then there must be dirt or oil interference; the journal diameter must be rechecked. Scrape of any Plastigage material, spread grease or assembly lube on the bearing surfaces and replace the connecting rod and cap and tighten to the recommended torque, etc. Continue for the remaining assemblies, make all components clean and appropriate orientation of the piston is maintained. To perform the last step after the installation of the crankshaft, rotate the crankshaft to check binding, and in the last check, check the connecting rod end play according to the specifications used. If new components have been fitted then may be a visit to a machine shop is required for resizing the same.
