  Note
All bearing points and running surfaces must be oiled before assembly.
   
1 - Circlip
2 - Piston pin
q   If difficult to move, 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 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   The mark „TOP“ must face towards piston crown
q   Checking ring gap → Chapter
q   Checking ring-to-groove clearance → Chapter
5 - Oil scraper rings
q   Carefully remove and install 3-part oil scraper rings by hand.
q   Checking ring gap → Chapter
q   Ring-to-groove clearance not measurable.
6 - Conrod bolt
q   M8×1: 30 Nm and then 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   Due to the cracking method used to separate the bearing cap from the conrod in manufacture, the caps only fit in one position and only on the appropriate conrod
q   Mark with cylinder number prior to removal -A-.
q   Fitting position: the marking -B- shows toward the belt pulley (if there is no marking, this must be made before removing)
8 - Bearing cap
q   Do not interchange used bearing shells.
q   Insert bearing shells centrally.
Checking radial clearance with Plastigage:
q   New: 0.020 ... 0.060 mm
q   Wear limit: 0.070 mm
q   Do not rotate crankshaft when checking radial clearance.
9 - 27 Nm
q   Opening pressure of the overpressure valve: 1.8 ... 2.2 bar
10 - Oil spray jet
q   For piston cooling
11 - Conrod
q   Renew as set only.
q   Mark cylinder allocation -A-
q   Fitting position: the marking -B- shows toward the belt pulley (if there is no marking, this must be made before removing)
q   Guided axially by piston.
