Professional installation required. Proper assembly is critical for engine reliability:

1. Disconnect battery - Disconnect the negative battery cable before beginning work
2. Drain engine oil and coolant - Drain fluids as necessary
3. Remove the cylinder head - Remove the cylinder head for access to the piston and connecting rod
4. Remove the oil pan - Remove the oil pan for access to the crankshaft and connecting rod bolts
5. Remove the old connecting rod - Mark the cylinder position, remove the connecting rod cap, and carefully push the piston/rod assembly out
6. Inspect the crankshaft journal - Check for wear, scoring, or damage; polish or replace if necessary
7. Inspect the piston pin - Check for wear or damage; replace if necessary
8. Clean thoroughly - Clean all components and oil passages
9. Prepare the new connecting rod - Inspect the new rod and verify it matches the original
10. Install new bearings - Install new connecting rod bearings (upper and lower)
11. Install the piston and rod assembly - Carefully install the piston/rod assembly into the cylinder
12. Install the connecting rod cap - Install the rod cap and torque bolts to manufacturer specification
13. Check bearing clearance - Verify bearing clearance using plastigauge (per service manual)
14. Reinstall the oil pan - Install the oil pan with a new gasket
15. Reinstall the cylinder head - Install the cylinder head with a new head gasket
16. Refill fluids - Refill with the correct type and grade of engine oil and coolant
17. Reconnect battery - Reconnect the negative battery cable
