Surface with cylinder number marking
The code on the connecting-rod big end and connecting-rod bearing cap must be on the same side -A-.
Allocation
The direction of travel arrow is on the same side as the connecting rod code -A- as is evident on the piston shown. This can be installed as standard
on one cylinder bank side as shown, and on the other cylinder bank side, the connecting rod code is on the opposite side. However, when the
pistons are fitted at a later time, it is absolutely necessary that they be aligned in the direction of travel (see the following point). Install with the
number on the connecting rod -A- to the exhaust side.
Installing pistons
The direction of travel arrow must be pointing forwards when installed (in direction of travel).
1. Turn the engine in the engine support so that the crankshaft lies at the bottom.
2. Install piston. To do this, turn the crankshaft with a wrench (a/f 27) until the corresponding crank pin is pointing vertically downwards.

3. Cylinder, piston and Piston ring restraining strap for 944 - S2 and Boxster and 911 Carrera (996) NR.57 leicht einolen.
4. Align piston-ring set (staggered by 120°) and compress piston rings using piston ring restraining strap for 944 - S2 and Boxster and 911 Carrera
(996) NR.57. Ensure all piston rings are correctly pre-loaded by the special tool -see figure-.
