Piston with connecting rod, removing and fitting
|
2.
|
Remove the oil intake pipe (1) from the oil pump and the engine block.
|
4.
|
Remove the big-end bearing cap from the connecting rod.
The fracture surfaces of the connecting rods and the big-end bearing caps form an individual fit and must not be interchanged or damaged. Do not rest the connecting rods or big-end bearing caps on their fracture surfaces to avoid damage.
|
5.
|
Remove combustion residue from the top part of the cylinder bore.
|
1.
|
Press out the piston together with the connecting rod upward from the cylinder bore.
|
2.
|
Check and clean all parts, change them if necessary. Change the piston - see
Piston, change
.
|
3.
|
Put the crankshaft big-end journal in "ND position" and moisten it with engine oil.
Adjust the piston ring positions:
|
4.
|
Oil scraper ring II: offset the steel ring gaps 25 to 50 mm to the left and right of the middle ring gap respectively. Piston ring I: offset the ring gap about 180°. Second piston ring with "TOP" face up.
|
5.
|
Moisten the piston rings with engine oil and compress them with a normal piston ring compressor.
|
6.
|
Push the piston into the cylinder bore with the handle of a hammer.
Caution
Note the fitting position of the piston and connecting rod.
|
7.
|
The arrow (1) on the bottom of the piston pointing towards the timing end of the engine, the boss (2) on the connecting rod towards the gearbox end.
|
1.
|
Note the order of the big-end bearing caps.
|
2.
|
Fit the big-end bearing caps - boss (1) on the big-end bearing cap pointing towards the gearbox end.
|
3.
|
Big-end bearing cap with new bolts on connecting rod - tightening torque 25 Nm + 30°.
|
4.
|
Fit the oil intake pipe (2) together with a new sealing ring on the oil pump - tightening torque 8 Nm
Note
|
Recut the threads before reuse and apply locking compound (red) when fitting the bolts. Mounting time including checking torque must not exceed 10 min.
|
|
5.
|
Fit the oil intake pipe onto the engine block - tightening torque 8 Nm.
