Never rush the disassembly process. Before removing each piston and rod assembly, make sure they're correctly marked for position. The pointer highlights the numbers typically punched into the rods and caps at the factory. These critical markings prevent mixing rods and caps and are not always present, so be sure to add them (gently) before disassembly. If you don't have a punch set, get one. A second choice is to clean the rods and apply paint markings. Never cut, grind, or scratch notches into the rods to mark them. These surface blemishes become failure points in operation.
