New connecting rod
A new connecting rod has been introduced on certain engines.
The mating surface between the cap and the connecting rod is not machined. It is aligned through a dedicated 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.
Removing the pistons from the cylinder block
Remove the screws for the connecting rod cover.
Lift off the cover. Ensure that the bearing cover comes with it.
Caution! The bearing covers are not interchangeable. Also note the position of the bearing covers in relation to the rotation of the crankshaft.
Install tool in the connecting rod and push out the connecting rod/piston.
Hold by hand so that the piston does not fall to the floor. Ensure that the bearing cover comes with it.
Place the piston and connecting rod in such a way that they can be reinstalled in the correct cylinder.
Continue with cylinders 2, 3, 4 and 5 as above.
Caution! The bearing covers are not interchangeable. Also note the position of the bearing covers in relation to the rotation of the crankshaft.
