Mounting pistons in cylinders
Note. After replacing the crankshaft, piston or gud-
geon pin, the weight difference between con rods with
piston and piston rings shall not exceed 10 g between
cylinders.
1. Lubricate the pistons and piston rings with engine
oil beside the rings, so that the oil finds its way
into the piston ring grooves. Turn the piston rings
so that the ring gaps are displaced 90

Make sure that no piston ring gap is placed in line
with the gudgeon pin.
