Disassembly of the crankshaft/connecting rods assembly

Unscrew the screws (1) and separate the connecting rods from the crankshaft.
Important
Take care not to mix up components of different connecting rods and maintain the original orientation.
Overhaul of the connecting rods
Make the following dimensional checks on the connecting rods:
- clearance with gudgeon pin on assembly.
In the event of excessive wear (Sect. 3 - 1.1, Crankshaft), replace the connecting rod.
The small end bushing must be in good condition and firmly driven into its seat.
Check for parallelism error measured at 100 mm from the connecting rod longitudinal axis:
the value must be H-h less than 0.02 mm; otherwise, renew the connecting rod.
