Tightening the cap for the connecting rod
Install the end cap. Check that markings correspond. On
late types of connecting rods the mating surface between
the cap and the connecting rod are not machined. It is
aligned through a dedicated fracture surface.
Earlier types have serrated surfaces that only align
one way.
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 surfaces of the connecting rod and end
cap dean using compressed air before installing the cap.
Lubricate and install the new screws. Tighten in two stages:
1
20 Nm
2
Angle-tighten 90°
