REMOVE CERTAIN PISTONS, CONNECTING RODS, AND PISTON PINS FROM PARTS STOCKS 3500 Series Engines, 1214, 1225, 1218, PI7101 U-53 A-35 AU-44 B-19 C-49 E-32 O-39 SEE JULY 6, 1984 parts stock action only Problem Pistons with Part Numbers 4W4746, 8N7808, and 2W3189 should not be used for service replacements for pistons in any 3500 Series Engine. Some 8N7808 Pistons have experienced oil passage cracking. There has been an unacceptable rate of wear in rod eye bushings with the 4W4746 Piston. A new improved piston is now used for longer service life and improved reusability. The surface finish on 7N2393 Piston Pins and on the bushings in 1W4300, 1W4800 and in certain 8N9647 Connecting Rods does not meet the new specifications. A new piston pin and an improved 1W4800 Connecting Rod are used in production to provide a smoother surface finish. Action Requested Remove from parts stocks any 4W4746, 8N7808, and 2W3189 Pistons. Some 4W4746 Pistons may have been reworked to the latest design, and, if so, the Part Number 4W7402 will be stamped on the bottom of the pin boss.
