20.
Connecting rod bearings that are worn, pitted,
scored and show signs of overheating must be
discarded. If more than one of the bearings
show these signs they must all be renewe.
When fitting new or used bearings to
serviceable crankpins the clearances must be
checked.

boss and assemble the piston to the
connecting rod with the gudgeon pin. Secure
the assembly with a circlip on the opposite
side of the piston.

Clean the protective coating from new
bearings before fitting.

Fit the bearing shells to each connecting rod
and cap ensuring that the location tags are
correctly seated and aligned. Fit and tighten
both bolts to the correct torque, next release
one nut on each cap then check for a nip
clearance of between
to 0.008).

23.
Check the joint face of faces of both cap rod
and bearing shells if the nip clearance is
excessive. Too little nip clearance will allow the
shell bearings to move (possibly rotate) inside
the connecting rod when the engine is
running. After satisfactory fittting of the
bearings temporary retain the shells and caps
to the appropriate connecting rod.
Assembling pistons to connecting rods
The piston must be assembled t o the connecting
rod so that the arrow on the piston crown points to
the front of the engine and the off-set combustion
chamber, bearing shell tags and connecting rod
number are all on the same, right hand side of the
cylinder block viewed from the rear of the engine
(camshaft side).
