Turn the crankshaft so that the piston for cylinder 1 ends up in lower dead center (LDC).
Check that the markings on the caps and connecting rods are there and see which way the marking is facing (exhaust-/intake side) Note this.
Mark, as needed, with center punch or digit punch, see: Crank mechanism, assembling. See: Crank Mechanism, Assembling.
Preparatory work
Information about contact face on connecting rod
The contact face between the cap and connecting rod is not machined. The fit takes place using a clean fracture surface.
Caution! If the cap is turned the wrong way and tightened, the structure of the fracture surface will be damaged and the connecting rod must
then be discarded.
Note! Blow the fracture surface clean with compressed air before reinstalling the cap.
