MAINTENANCE

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHART

Periodic Maintenance Overview

Inspection, adjustment and lubrication of important components are explained in the periodic maintenance chart.

Inspect, clean, lubricate, adjust and replace parts as necessary. When inspection reveals the need for replacement parts, use genuine Pure Polaris parts available from your Polaris dealer.

NOTE: Service and adjustments are critical. If you’re not familiar with safe service and adjustment procedures, have a qualified dealer perform these operations.

Maintenance intervals in the following chart are based upon average riding conditions and an average vehicle speed of approximately 10 miles per hour. Vehicles subjected to severe use must be inspected and serviced more frequently.

Severe Use Definition

• Frequent immersion in mud, water or sand

• Racing or race-style high RPM use

• Prolonged low speed, heavy load operation

• Extended idle

• Short trip cold weather operation

Pay special attention to the oil level. A rise in oil level during cold weather can indicate contaminants collecting in the oil sump or crankcase. Change oil immediately if the oil level begins to rise. Monitor the oil level, and if it continues to rise, discontinue use and determine the cause or see your dealer.

Break-In Period

The break-in period consists of the first 25 hours of operation, or the time it takes to use 14 gallons (53 liters) of fuel. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these components.

• Drive vehicle slowly at first while varying the throttle position. Do not operate at sustained idle.

• Pull only light loads.

• Perform regular checks on fluid levels and other areas outlined on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist.

• Change both the engine oil and filter after 25 hours or one month.

• See “Owner’s Manual” for additional break-in information.

Maintenance Chart Key

The following symbols denote potential items to be aware of during maintenance:

■ = CAUTION: Due to the nature of these adjustments, it is recommended this service be performed by an

authorized Polaris dealer.

▶ = SEVERE USE ITEM: See information provided above.

E = Emission Control System Service (California).

NOTE: Inspection may reveal the need for replacement parts. Always use genuine Polaris parts.

WARNING

Improperly performing the procedures marked ■ could result in component failure and lead to serious injury or death.

Have an authorized Polaris dealer perform these services.

FUEL SYSTEM AND AIR INTAKE

Fuel System

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under

certain conditions.

Always stop the engine and refuel outdoors or in a well

ventilated area.

Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near

the area where refueling is performed or where

gasoline is stored.

Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.

If you get gasoline in your eyes or if you swallow

gasoline, seek medical attention immediately.

If you spill gasoline on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and water

and change clothing.

Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous and can result in

loss of consciousness or

death in a short time.

Never drain the fuel when the engine is hot.

Severe burns may result.

3. Replace fuel line every two years.

Fuel Pump / Fuel Filters

The RZR 800 EFI engine uses a serviceable, highvolume, high-pressure, fuel pump that includes a preliminary filter and an internal fine filter located before the pump regulator.

NOTE: Neither filter is servicable individually. Must replace the fuel pump as an assembly.

Fuel Line

1. Check the quick-connect fuel line for signs of wear, deterioration, damage or leakage. Replace if necessary.

2. Be sure fuel line is routed and retained properly.

IMPORTANT: Make sure line is not kinked or pinched.

MAINTENANCE

Vent Lines

1. Check fuel tank, front gearcase, rear gearcase and transmission vent lines for signs of wear, deterioration, damage or leakage. Replace every two years.

2. Be sure vent lines are routed properly and secured with cable ties.

IMPORTANT: Ensure lines are not kinked or pinched.

Throttle Pedal Inspection

This vehicle is equipped with a Throttle Release Switch (TRS) used to detect when the throttle pedal has returned to the rest position.

NOTE: The throttle pedal lever is designed to have a few degrees of freeplay prior to engaging the throttle arm that pulls the throttle cable.

Always check that the throttle pedal moves independently of the cable pull lever at the start of throttle pedal travel and that the throttle pedal returns normally before starting the engine.

There should be minimal freeplay between the throttle cable and the cable pull lever. If there is excessive play due to cable stretch or misadjustment, it will cause a delay in throttle response, especially at low engine speed. The throttle may also not open fully. If the throttle cable has no freeplay, the throttle may be hard to control, and the idle speed may be erratic.

Throttle Freeplay Adjustment

Inspection

1. Place the transmission in PARK.

2. Start the engine and warm it up thoroughly.

3. Measure the distance the throttle arm (A) moves before the engine begins to pick up speed. Throttle cable freeplay should be 1/16” - 1/8” (1.5 - 3 mm).

NOTE: The throttle pedal lever (B) is designed to have a few degrees of freeplay prior to engaging the throttle arm (A) that pulls the throttle cable.

Adjustment

1. Remove both seats and rear service panel.

2. Remove cargo box as an assembly (see Chapter 5).

Check throttle pedal freeplay periodically in accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart. Adjust the freeplay if necessary (see “Throttle Freeplay Adjustment”).

7. Remove dipstick and check to see that the oil level is in the SAFE range. Add oil as indicated by the level on the dipstick. Do not overfill (see NOTE below).

NOTE: Due to the dipstick entry angle into the crankcase, the oil level will read higher on the bottom side of the dipstick. Proper level indication is determined on the upper surface of the dipstick as it is being removed, regardless of the level marks being on top or on bottom (see the next illustration).

• RZR 4: Remove the right rear passenger seat to access the dipstick.

5. Lift the lever lock, remove dipstick and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

9924707 - 2013–2014 RZR 800 Service Manual

COOLING SYSTEM

Cooling System Overview

The engine coolant level is controlled, or maintained, by the recovery system. The recovery system components are the recovery bottle, radiator filler neck, radiator pressure cap and connecting hose.

As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated) excess coolant is forced out of the radiator past the pressure cap and into the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases the contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the tank past the pressure cap and into the radiator.

NOTE: Some coolant level drop on new machines is normal as the system is purging itself of trapped air. Observe coolant levels often during the break-in period.

IMPORTANT: Overheating of engine could occur if air is not fully purged from system.

Polaris Premium 60/40 coolant is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water.

Coolant Level Inspection

The pressure cap and recovery bottle are located under the front hood of the vehicle. The coolant level must be maintained between the minimum and maximum levels indicated on the recovery bottle.

4. If the coolant level is below the MIN line, inspect the coolant level in the radiator.

NOTE: If overheating is evident, allow system to cool completely and check coolant level in the radiator and inspect for signs of trapped air in system.

WARNING

Never remove the pressure cap when the engine is warm or hot. Escaping steam can cause severe burns. The engine must be cool before removing the pressure

cap.

5. Remove the pressure cap. Using a funnel, add coolant to the top of the filler neck.

6. Reinstall the pressure cap.

NOTE: Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to function properly.

7. Remove recovery bottle cap and add coolant using a funnel.

8. Fill recovery bottle to MAX level with Polaris 60/40 premix Anti Freeze/Coolant or 50/50 or 60/40 mixture of antifreeze and distilled water as required for freeze protection in your area.

9. Reinstall the recovery bottle cap.

10. If coolant was required, start engine and check for leaks. Make sure radiator fins are clean to prevent overheating.

With the engine at operating temperature, the coolant level should be between the upper and lower marks on the coolant recovery bottle. If not, perform the following procedure:

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.

2. Remove the hood from the front cab.

3. View the coolant level in the recovery bottle.

Engine To Frame Ground

Inspect ground cable connections. Be sure they are clean and tight. The engine ground cable runs from the starter motor to the chassis ground terminal.

STEERING

Steering Inspection

The steering components should be checked periodically for loose fasteners, worn tie rod ends, ball joints, and damage. Also check to make sure all cotter pins are in place. If cotter pins are removed, they must not be reused. Always use new cotter pins.

Replace any worn or damaged steering components. Steering should move freely through the entire range of travel without binding. Check routing of all cables, hoses, and wiring to be sure the steering mechanism is not restricted or limited.

NOTE: Whenever steering components are replaced, check front end alignment.

WARNING

Due to the critical nature of the procedures outlined in this chapter, Polaris recommends steering component

repair and adjustment be performed by an authorized

Polaris

MSD certified technician.

Use only genuine Polaris replacement parts.

Steering Wheel Freeplay

Check steering wheel for specified freeplay and operation.

1. Position the vehicle on level ground.

2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.

3. There should be 0.8”-1.0” (20-25 mm) of freeplay.

9924707 - 2013–2014 RZR 800 Service Manual

2.31

Page 56

MAINTENANCE

4. If there is excessive freeplay or the steering feels rough, inspect the following components.

• Tie Rod Ends

• Steering Shaft U-Joints

• Steering Gearbox

Tie Rod End / Wheel Hub Inspection

• To check for play in the tie rod end, grasp the

steering tie rod, pull in all directions feeling for movement.

• Elevate front end of machine so front wheels are off the ground. Check for any looseness in front hub/wheel assembly by grasping the tire firmly at top and bottom first, and then at front and rear. Try to move the wheel and hub by pushing inward and pulling outward.

• If abnormal movement is detected, inspect the hub and wheel assembly to determine the cause (loose wheel nuts or loose front hub nut).

• Refer to Chapter 7 “Final Drive” for front hub service procedures.

• Replace any worn steering components. Steering should move freely through entire range of travel without binding.

MAINTENANCE

Wheel Toe Alignment Inspection

1. Place machine on a smooth level surface and set steering wheel in a straight ahead position. Secure the steering wheel in this position.

2. Place a chalk mark on the center line of the front tires approximately 10” (25.4 cm) from the floor or as close to the hub/axle center line as possible.

NOTE: It is important the height of both marks be equally positioned to get an accurate measurement.

Wheel Toe Adjustment

If toe alignment is incorrect, measure the distance between vehicle center and each wheel. This will tell you which tie rod needs adjusting.

3. Measure the distance between the marks and record the measurement. Call this measurement “A”.

4. Rotate the tires 180° by moving the vehicle forward. Position chalk marks facing rearward, even with the hub/axle center line.

5. Again measure the distance between the marks and record. Call this measurement “B”. Subtract measurement “B” from measurement “A”. The difference between measurements “A” and “B” is the vehicle toe alignment. The recommended vehicle toe tolerance is 1/8” to 1/4” (0.3 to 0.6 cm) toe out. This means the measurement at the front of the tire (A) is 1/8” to 1/4” (0.3 to 0.6 cm) wider than the measurement at the rear (B).

(A) - (B) = 1/8 to 1/4" (0.3 to 0.6 cm)

Wheel Toe-Out:

9924707 - 2013–2014 RZR 800 Service Manual

NOTE: Be sure steering wheel is straight ahead before determining which tie rod needs adjustment.

CAUTION

During tie rod adjustment, it is very important that the

following precautions be taken when tightening tie rod

end jam nuts.

If the rod end is positioned incorrectly it will not pivot,

and may break.

To adjust toe alignment:

• Hold tie rod end to keep it from rotating.

• Loosen jam nuts at both end of the tie rod.

• Shorten or lengthen the tie rod until alignment is as required to achieve the proper toe setting as specified in “Wheel Toe Alignment”.

2.33

Page 58

MAINTENANCE

• IMPORTANT: When tightening the tie rod end jam nuts, the rod ends must be held parallel to prevent rod end damage and premature wear. Damage may not be immediately apparent if done incorrectly.

• After alignment is complete, torque jam nuts to specification.

Tie Rod End Jam Nut:

12-14 ft-lbs (16-19 Nm)

Cooling System Bleeding Procedure

WARNING

Always wear safety glasses and proper shop clothing

when performing the procedures in this manual. Failing

to do so may lead to possible injury or death.

CAUTION

Use caution when performing these procedures.

Coolant may be hot and may cause severe injury or

burns.

NOTE: If the coolant level is LOW in the radiator, or if there are leaks in the system, the coolant system will not draw coolant from the reservoir tank.

NOTE: Use this procedure when a unit overheats and no apparent leaks in the cooling system are found.

1. Drive the vehicle onto a slight incline or use properly weight rated ramps. If an incline is not available, slightly elevate the front of the vehicle.

2. Place the vehicle in Park and block the rear wheels.

CAUTION

Be sure the engine has cooled and no pressure is built up in the cooling system before removing the pressure

cap. The coolant may be hot and could cause severe

injury or burns.

3. Remove pressure cap and top off coolant.

4. Remove recovery bottle cap and fill bottle to the full line.

5. Leave the cap off of the radiator to allow any possible air to escape.

6. Start the engine and let it idle for 5-10 minutes or until the thermostat opens and allows coolant to flow through the system.

7. Squeeze the coolant lines by hand to help purge the system of air.

9924707 - 2013–2014 RZR 800 Service Manual

3.15

Page 78

ENGINE

8. Slightly loosen the bleed screw (C) on the cylinder head to let air escape. If no air is present, a steady stream of coolant will stream out. If air is present, the screw will bubble and sputter as the air escapes.

9. Tighten the bleed screw to specification and properly install the pressure cap.

Coolant Bleed Screw:

70 ± 10 in-lbs (8 ± 1.13 Nm)

NOTE: If there is air in the system you will see air bubbles forming through the radiator filler neck.

10. Add Polaris Premium Antifreeze to the radiator filler neck if the level goes down. If no bubbles are seen at the filler neck, the system should be purged of air.

WARNING

Be sure to install the pressure cap before shutting off

Coolant may spit out of the radiator.

11. Stop the engine and let cool, top off the radiator filler neck with coolant. If you hear or see a “glug” at the filler neck, or there is a dropping of the coolant level, indicating that coolant has been pulled into the system; Fill the recovery bottle only after you have completely filled the cooling system at the radiator filler neck.

12. Repeat this procedure, if overheating still occurs.

Oil Flow Chart

This chart describes the flow of oil through the 800 EFI engine. Beginning in the crankcase sump, the oil is drawn through an oil galley to the feed side of the oil pump. The oil is then pumped through the oil filter. If the oil filter is obstructed, a bypass valve contained in the filter allows oil to bypass the filter element. At this point, the oil is supplied to the main oil galley through a crankcase passage. Oil is then diverted three ways from the main oil galley, with the first path entering the camshaft bores, onto the rear balance shaft journal and then draining back into the crankcase sump. The second oil path from the main oil galley feeds the lifter bores and then drains back to the crankcase sump. The third oil path flows through a crankcase galley to the MAG side crankshaft journal and also to the front balance shaft journal and onto the crankcase sump.

1. Clean push rods (A) in a suitable solvent. Blow dry push rods with compressed air.

2. Use compressed air to confirm the oil passage is clear in the center of the push rod.

5. If the push rod (A) is visibly bent, it should be replaced.

Cylinder Head Removal

NOTE: The cargo box assembly and the upper frame bolt-in brace must be removed to allow enough clearance to remove all the cylinder head bolts. Refer to Chapter 5 for removal procedures.

1. Loosen the six cylinder head bolts (A) evenly 1/8 turn each in a criss-cross pattern until loose.

2. Remove bolts (A) and tap cylinder head (B) lightly with a soft face hammer until loose. CAUTION: Tap only in reinforced areas or on thick parts of cylinder head casting to avoid damaging the head or cylinder.

WARNING

Always wear safety glasses when working with

compressed air to prevent personal injury.

3. Check the ends of the push rods (A) for nicks, grooves, roughness or excessive wear.

4. The push rods (A) can be visually checked for straightness while they are installed in the engine by rotating them with the valve closed. Push rods can also be checked with a dial indicator or rolled across a flat surface to check for straightness.

Valve Seal / Spring Service (On Engine)

NOTE: The following procedure is only for servicing the top end of the valve train when replacing valve springs or replacing valve seals.

3.30

Use care not to damage sealing surface.

9924707 - 2013–2014 RZR 800 Service Manual

In some cases the valve train can be serviced while the cylinder head is still on the engine. Keep all parts in order with respect to their location in the cylinder head.

WARNING

Wear eye protection or a face shield during cylinder

head disassembly and reassembly.

1. Having already removed the valve cover, rocker arms and pushrods, align the cylinder to be worked on at top dead center (TDC). Install the Valve Pressure Hose (PU-45652) into the spark plug hole. Hook the hose to an air compressor and supply 50 to 100 psi to the hose. This will seat the valves during valve spring removal. Do not remove air supply until reassembly is completed.

2. Using the Valve Spring Compressor (PU-45257), compress the valve spring and remove the valve keepers.

NOTE: A small parts magnet (A) can aid in the removal of the retainers (B).

NOTE: To prevent damage to the valve seals, do not compress the valve spring more than is needed to remove the valve keepers.

3. Remove spring retainer and spring.

4. The valve seals are now serviceable.

2. Place the hydraulic lifters (C), pushrods (D), and rocker arms (E) in a safe, clean area.

3. Measure free length of spring with a Vernier caliper. Compare to specifications. Replace spring if measurement is out of specification.

ENGINE

5. Mark the valves with a white pen. Remove the valves from the cylinder head. This will ensure that the valves are properly placed during engine reassembly.

Valve Inspection

1. Remove all carbon from valves with a soft wire wheel or brush.

2. Check valve face for runout, pitting, and burnt spots. To check for bent valve stems, mount valve in a drill or use “V” blocks and a dial indicator.

3. Check end of valve stem (A) for flaring, pitting, wear or damage. Inspect split keeper groove (B) for wear or flaring of the keeper seat area.

NOTE: The valves can be re-faced or end ground, if necessary. They must be replaced if extensively worn, burnt, bent, or damaged.

4. Measure diameter of valve stem with a micrometer in three places, then rotate 90 degrees and measure again (six measurements total). Compare to specifications.

5. Measure valve guide (C) inside diameter at the top middle and end of the guide using a small hole gauge and a micrometer. Measure in two directions.

Valve Guide I.D.:

0.23672" ± 0.000295"

(6.0617 ± 0.0075 mm)

6. Subtract valve stem measurement from the valve guide measurement to obtain stem to guide clearance.

Combustion Chamber

1. Clean all accumulated carbon deposits from combustion chamber and valve seat area with carbon cleaner and a soft plastic scraper.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush, metal scraper, or abrasive cleaners to clean the bottom of the cylinder head. Extensive damage to the cylinder head may result. Wear safety glasses during cleaning.

Valve Seat Reconditioning

NOTE: Polaris recommends that the work be done by a local machine shop that specializes in this area.

NOTE: The cylinder head valve guides cannot be replaced.

Valve Stem Oil Clearance:

Intake: 0.00228" ± 0.00098"

(0.058 ± 0.025 mm)

Exhaust: 0.00275" ± 0.00098"

(0.087 ± 0.025 mm)

NOTE: The valve guides cannot be replaced. Be sure to measure each guide and valve combination individually.

9924707 - 2013–2014 RZR 800 Service Manual

WARNING

Wear eye protection or a face shield during cylinder

head disassembly and reassembly.

Valve Seat Inspection

Inspect valve seat in cylinder head for pitting, burnt spots, roughness, and uneven surface. If any of the above conditions exist, the valve seat must be reconditioned. If the valve seat is cracked, the cylinder

head must be replaced.

Follow the manufacturers instructions provided with the valve seat cutters in the commercially available cylinder head reconditioning kit. Abrasive stone seat reconditioning equipment can also be used. Keep all valves in order with their respective seat.

3.33

Page 96

ENGINE

NOTE: Valve seat width and point of contact on the valve face is very important for proper sealing. The valve must contact the valve seat over the entire circumference of the seat, and the seat must be the proper width all the way around. If the seat is uneven, compression leakage will result. If the seat is too wide, seat pressure is reduced, causing carbon accumulation and possible compression loss. If the seat is too narrow, heat transfer from valve to seat is reduced. The valve may overheat and warp, resulting in burnt valves.

1. Install pilot into valve guide.

2. Apply cutting oil to valve seat and cutter.

3. Place 46° cutter on the pilot and make a light cut.

4. Inspect the cut area of the seat:

* If the contact area is less than 75% of the circumference of the seat, rotate the pilot 180° and make another light cut.

* If the cutter now contacts the uncut portion of the seat, check the pilot. Look for burrs, nicks, or runout. If the pilot is bent it must be replaced.

* If the contact area of the cutter is in the same place, the valve guide is distorted from improper installation.

* If the contact area of the initial cut is greater than 75%, continue to cut the seat until all pits are removed and a new seat surface is evident. NOTE:

Remove only the amount of material necessary to repair the seat surface.

5. To check the contact area of the seat on the valve face, apply a thin coating of Prussian Blue™ paste to the valve seat. If using an interference angle (46°) apply black permanent marker to the entire valve face (A).

3.34

6. Insert valve into guide and tap valve lightly into place a few times.

9924707 - 2013–2014 RZR 800 Service Manual

Page 97

7. Remove valve and check where the Prussian Blue™ indicates seat contact on the valve face. The valve seat should contact the middle of the valve face or slightly above, and must be the proper width.

* If the indicated seat contact is at the top edge of the valve face and contacts the margin area (B) it is too high on the valve face. Use the 30° cutter to lower the valve seat.

* If too low, use the 60° cutter to raise the seat. When contact area is centered on the valve face, measure seat width.

* If the seat is too wide or uneven, use both top and bottom cutters to narrow the seat.

* If the seat is too narrow, widen using the 45° cutter and re-check contact point on the valve face and seat width after each cut.

NOTE: When using an interference angle, the seat contact point on the valve will be very narrow, and is a normal condition. Look for an even and continuous contact point all the way around the valve face (A).

ENGINE

Valve Seat Width:

Intake Std: 0.028" (0.7 mm)

Limit: 0.055" (1.4 mm)

Exhaust Std: 0.039” (1.0 mm)

Limit: 0.071" (1.8 mm)

8. Clean all filings from the area with hot soapy water. Rinse and dry with compressed air.

9. Lubricate the valve guides with clean engine oil, and apply oil or water based lapping compound to the face of the valve.

NOTE: Lapping is not required with an interference angle valve job.

10. Insert the valve into its respective guide and lap using a lapping tool or a section of fuel line connected to the valve stem.

ENGINE

11. Rotate the valve rapidly back and forth until the cut sounds smooth. Lift the valve slightly off of the seat, rotate 1/4 turn, and repeat the lapping process. Do this four to five times until the valve is fully seated, and repeat process for the other valve(s).

12. Thoroughly clean cylinder head and valves.

Cylinder Head Reassembly

NOTE: Assemble the valves one at a time to maintain proper order.

1. Apply engine oil to valve guides and seats.

2. Coat valve stem with molybdenum disulfide grease or synthetic engine oil.

3. Install valve carefully with a rotating motion to avoid damaging valve seal.

4. Valve seals should be installed after the valves are in the head to avoid valve seal damage. Install new valve seals on valve guides.

5. Dip valve spring and retainer in clean engine oil and install.

6. Place retainer on spring and install Valve Spring Compressor (PU-45257). Install split keepers with the gap even on both sides.

NOTE: A small magnet can be used to aid in the installation of the keepers.

Valve Sealing Test

1. Clean and dry the combustion chamber area (A).

2. Pour a small amount of clean solvent onto the intake port and check for leakage around each intake valve. The valve seats should hold fluid with no seepage.

3. Repeat for exhaust valves by pouring fluid into exhaust port.

Cylinder Removal

1. Follow engine disassembly procedures to remove rocker cover and cylinder head.

2. Tap cylinder (A) lightly with a rubber mallet in the reinforced areas only until loose.

3. Rock cylinder forward and backward while lifting it from the crankcase, supporting pistons and connecting rods. Support pistons with Piston Support Block (PN 2870390).

7. Repeat procedure for remaining valves. When all valves are installed, tap lightly with soft faced hammer on the end of the valves to seat the split keepers.

NOTE: To prevent damage to the valve seals, do not compress the valve spring more than necessary to install the keepers.

Valve Lifter Removal / Inspection

1. Remove the valve lifters by reaching into the crankcase and pushing the lifter up through the lifter bore by hand.

2. Thoroughly clean the lifters in cleaning solvent and wipe them with a clean, lint-free cloth.

3. Mark the lifters with a white pen if using the lifters for reassembly. This will ensure that the lifters are properly placed during engine reassembly.

4. Check the lifters for wear or scores.

5. Check the bottom end of lifter to make sure that it has a slight convex.

6. If the bottom surface has worn flat, it may be used with the original camshaft only.

Piston Removal

1. Remove the circlip. Mark the piston with a white pen to ensure proper orientation (if reused) during assembly.

NOTE: If the pistons are to be reused, reassemble the pistons in the same cylinder and direction from which they were removed.

NOTE: New pistons are non-directional and can be placed in either cylinder.

2. Remove piston circlip and push piston pin out of piston. If necessary, heat the crown of the piston slightly with a propane torch. CAUTION: Do not apply heat to the piston rings. The ring may lose radial tension.

3. Remove top compression ring:

*Using a piston ring pliers: Carefully expand ring and lift it off the piston. CAUTION: Do not expand the ring more than the amount necessary to remove it from the piston, or the ring may break.

*By hand: Placing both thumbs as shown, spread the ring open and push up on the opposite side. Do not scratch the ring lands.

NOTE: Lifters that are scored, worn, or if the bottom is not smooth should be replaced with new lifters and cam as an assembly. If replacing the lifters, the camshaft should also be replaced.
