COOLING ORIFICES
IMPORTANT: A piston cooling orifice failure could
cause damage to pistons, piston pins,
rod pin bushings and liners. If a piston
cooling orifice is left out, low or no oil
pressure will result.
1. Remove and clean each piston cooling orifice (A) to
make sure it is not plugged or damaged. Replace if
questionable.

NOTE: If equipped with early design orifice (B), add a
punch mark (C) to each orifice as shown. This is
not necessary on later design orifice (D) because
of its different shape. Adding a punch mark to
orifice (B) will also prevent cooling jets from being
mistakenly used on 300-Series Engines.
&pwrtec; Engines use a larger orifice diameter
cooling jet for proper lubrication and cooling of
piston skirts.
2. Install and tighten orifices.
