Assembly overview
  Note
Oil all bearing and running surfaces before assembly.
   
1 - Retaining ring
2 - Piston pin
q   If difficult to remove, heat piston to 60 °C.
q   Remove and install with drift -10 - 14-.
3 - Piston
q   check → Chapter
q   Mark installation position and cylinder number.
q   Arrow on piston crown points to belt pulley end.
q   Install using piston ring clamp.
4 - Compression rings
q   Offset gaps by 120°.
q   Remove and fit compression rings using pliers adapted for piston rings
q   „TOP“ faces towards piston crown.
q   Checking ring gap → Chapter
q   Checking ring-to-groove clearance → Chapter
5 - Oil scraper rings
q   Carefully remove and install by hand the oil scraper rings made up of 3 parts
q   Checking ring gap → Chapter
q   Ring-to-groove clearance cannot be checked
6 - Conrod bolt
q   M7×0.75: 20 Nm + 1/4 turn (90°) further.
q   M8×1: 30 Nm + 1/4 turn (90°) further.
q   replace
q   Oil threads and contact surface.
q   To measure radial clearance, tighten to corresponding specified torque but not further.
7 - Conrod bearing cap
q   The caps only fit in one position and only on the appropriate conrod due to the breaking procedure (cracking) separating the cap from the conrod.
q   Mark with cylinder number prior to removal -A-.
q   Installation position: Mark -B- points to belt pulley end (if mark is missing, mark before removing).
8 - Bearing shell
q   Do not interchange used bearing shells.
q   Insert bearing shells centrally.
Check the radial play using a Plastigage:
q   New: 0.020 ... 0.060 mm
q   Wear limit: 0.090 mm.
q   Do not turn crankshaft when measuring radial clearance
9 - 27 Nm
q   Opening pressure of pressure relief valve: 1.8…2.2 bar
10 - Oil spray jet
q   For cooling the piston
11 - Conrod
q   Renew as set only.
q   Mark cylinder allocation -A-
q   Installation position: Mark -B- points to belt pulley end (if mark is missing, mark before removing).
q   Piston axial guided
