There is an arrow on top of the piston. This must be turned forwards in the cylinder block.
The connecting rods are symmetrical and can be turned freely. Marked rods however must be turned in the same direction.
Assemble the connecting rod and piston with the piston pin.
Check that the classification and any numbering for each cylinder and piston diameter correspond.
Install both the snap rings on the piston pin. Check that the snap rings are positioned correctly in the piston. The opening must be vertical.
Warning! The lock ring can easily fly off. Wear protective goggles!
Wipe clean around the bearing recess in the connecting rod and the cap.
Install the bearing shells. Center the bearing shells in the bearing recess.
Caution! If reusing the bearing shells, they must be installed in the same position as before.Also, make sure that they are positioned correctly
with regards to the crankshaft's rotational direction.
Installing the pistons in the cylinder bores
Use a cylinder ring compressor.
Lubricate the cylinder bore, the pistons and the bearing shells.
Turn the crankshaft so that the crank pin is in lower dead center for the cylinder that the piston is to be installed in.
Ensure that the engine is in a position where the cylinder bore forms as vertical a line as possible.
Note! The arrow (top of the piston) must point forwards, and make sure that the classification matches!
Carefully press/tap down the piston (e.g., with the handle of a hammer).
When the piston releases from the piston ring compressor, turn the engine 180° in the stand. Install tool 999 5746 Holder See: Tools and Equipment/999
