Reassembling the connecting rod assembly
Before starting, check that the crankshaft main bearing and big-end journals are free of burrs or evident
signs of machining: if necessary, clean the surfaces with very fine emery cloth and oil.
Check that the grooves are in perfect condition with no signs of forcing.
Check that each connecting rod is fitted with its centring pins (8) between cap and the relevant shank.
If the crankshaft or one or both con-rods need to be replaced, you must match crankshaft and con-rods
according to their weight, as described in the procedure below:
Check the crankshaft class (1).
Check the con-rod class (2).
