Fitting connecting rods and pistons
1.
Ensure that the essentric headed big end bolts
and shell bearings are correctly located in the
connecting rods and as a precaution against
possible damage t o the crankshaft journals
during installation of the pistons, cover the
bolt threads with a layer of adheasive tape.
Check that the number o n the connecting rod
is the same as the piston and cylinder and that
they are correctly orientated.
2.
With the cylinder block vertical, and 2 and
crankshaft journals at BDC lubricate and install
and 3 piston connecting rod assemblies so
that the piston rings are resting o n the block
face.
9.
To allow for shrinkage after fitting leave t he
seals standing proud of the crankcase face
then using a sharp blade, trim the seals off to
3.
Stagger the piston rings o n both pistons as
illustrated, then using a suitable tool compress
the piston rings and gently push each piston
into the cylinder bore.
Pull both connecting rod big ends o n to the
journals and fit the caps ensuring the the
numbers match and orientation is correct.
Retain the caps with new nuts but do not
tighten at this stage.
approximately
above the crankcase
face.
4.
5.
7.
Tum the crankshaft so that and 4 journals are
at BDC and install the pistons and connecting
rods as previously discribed.
Tighten both nuts on one connecting rod to
the correct torque and check that the
crankshaft is free t o rotate before securing the
next connecting rod cap nuts.
Investigate and rectify any big end bearing
which when tightened restricts the freedom of
the crank shaft.
9.
Check that each big end is free to move
sideways o n its journal and if necessary check
the actual side clearance using a feeler gauge.
The correct clearance is given in the data
section.
