Installing the main bearing shells
Always use new bearings.
Check these for colour marking. The bearing shell with a black colour coding on the side (1) must be installed in the connecting rod.
Installing the pistons in the cylinder bores
Note! The arrow (top of the piston) must point forwards, and make sure that the classification matches.
Use a cylinder ring compressor.
Lubricate the cylinder bore, the pistons and the bearing shells.
Turn the crankshaft so that the connecting rod pin is at bottom dead center (BDC) for the cylinder the piston is to be inserted in.
Ensure that the engine is in a position where the cylinder bore forms as vertical a line as possible.
Carefully press or tap the piston down (using the shaft of a hammer or similar). 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 5746 Holder in the connecting rod. Pull the connecting rod until it secures against the big
end journals.
