ASSEMBLY
Assembly Note
1. Be sure ail parts are clean before reinstallation.
2. Apply new engine oil to all sliding and rotating parts.
3. Do not reuse gaskets or oil seals
4. During assembly, inspect all critical clearances, end plays and oil clearances
5. Tighten bolts to the specified torques.
6. Replace bearings if they are peeling, burned, or otherwise damaged.

Connecting Rod
1, Align the oil groove in the large end of the con-
necting rod opposite the "F" mark on the piston.
2. Apply a coat of engine oil to the circumference of
each piston pin and to the small end of each con-
necting rod.
3. Set the SST in position as shown in the figure.
4. Insert the piston pin from the direction of the "F"
mark on the piston.
5. Press the upper part of the SST (49 8134 042) with
a press to force in the piston pin.
6. The piston pin shouid go in until the lower end of
the SST (49 8134 044) meets the bottom of the
SST (49 8134 041A).
Pressure force: 4.9-14.7 kN
(500-l ,500 kg, 1 ,lOO-3,300 Ib)
7. If the piston pin cannot be pressed in within the
specified pressures, replace the piston pin or the
connecting rod.
8. Check the oscillation torque of the connecting rod
as shown in the figure. If the large end does not
