I need to replace my rod(broke the bearing). How do i separate the rod from the piston? Similarly, do I need to hone the cylinder if i am replacing the piston with a piston from another 7AFE? (i think its yes, but i just want to make sure) Help is greatly appreciated, i gotta get her running by the end of the week. . .

There is a circlip on the piston holding the gudegon pin in. Remove that, slide the gudgeon pin out, remove rod.
You don't HAVE to, but it's always a good idea when installing a new set of rings to even just give them a light flick with the hone so you have some nice new cross hatching in the bore to help the rings bed in. -------------------- ST205 Group A Rallye GT-Four, #61 of 77............600hp GT3582r

Im not seeing any pins, just a cylinder pushed in between the piston and the rod. and im not ONLY replacing rings, im swapping my piston for another from a different 7AFE does your answer still apply? -------------------- |
