Model 48 and 60 pistons are easily identified by
characteristic piston shoe running surface configurations
See Fig 216.
12. Inspect piston return plate (24) for heat discoloration
or cracks. Check for flatness. If distorted, discolored or
cracked, replace with a new return plate.

13. Install piston assemblies (55) in return plate (24).
Used pistons must be so positioned in the return plate to
allow placement of the pistons in their respective cylinder
block bores (See Page 118 Step 8).
14. If both piston return plate spacer assemblies (21, 22,
25, 26, and 27) were disassembled in Step 15, install two
spacers (22), one bearing plate (25), one clip (26), two
new tab lock washers (21), and two hex head bolts (27).
Do not tighten bolts (27).
15. Spread a light film of oil on the surface of the wear
plate (23) and slide piston (55)/return plate (24)
assembly into place. See Fig 217.
16. Assemble the second of the two spacer assemblies.
