Colour connecting rod eye and upper section of shaft with
temperature indicator pencil.
When connecting rod reaches 280 °C/536 °F, original
green colour changes to black, indicating that desired assembly temperature
has been reached.
Ensure that colour does not change along its entire length, but
only as far as beginning of connecting rod shaft.
Select new piston according to tables in Technical Data.
If stamped size marking on piston cannot be deciphered,
measure piston diameter 15 mm/0.59 in. above lower shaft end and at
right angles to shaft with a micrometer.
