Chevrolet Sonic Repair Manual: Separating Parts
Note:
- Disassembly of the piston, press fit design piston pin, and connecting
rod may create scoring or damage to the piston pin and piston pin bore.
If the piston, pin, and connecting rod have been disassembled, replace the
components as an assembly.
- Many internal engine components will develop specific wear patterns
on their friction surfaces.

marked, or organized in a way to ensure installation to their original location
and position.
Separate, mark, or organize the following components:
- Piston and the piston pin
- Piston to the specific cylinder bore
- Piston rings to the piston
- Connecting rod to the crankshaft journal
- Connecting rod to the bearing cap—A paint stick or etching/engraving type
tool are recommended. Stamping the connecting rod or cap near the bearing bore
may affect component geometry.

- Camshaft and valve tappets
- Valve to the valve guide
- Valve spring and shim to the cylinder head location
