To install new bearing shells, take a
shell half and lay it to approx. ¾ into the
cap. Now press with your thumb the
bearing in a sliding movement onto ist
seat. The bearing lip must fit into the
grove in the cap. The connection rod
side shell half is installed the same way.
(Figure 10)
Notice the numbers stamped onto one
side of the conrod. These are matching
marks i.e. identical numbers must be on
rod and cap.
(Figure 11)
Oil the bearing shells and install conrod
into the crankcase until it seats on the
crank pin. Insert the conrod cap through
the inspection cover.
Attention: The stamped numbers
must be aligned on the same side of
the rod but it is not important which
engine side the numbers face.
Tighten the conrod nuts to the
specified torque and reinstall the
crankcase cover.
(Figure 12)

bath or an electric heater plate to 90-
100°C (195-210°F). Thrust gear down
onto the camshaft using a suitable
length of pipe and a hydraulic press.
Attention: The chisel mark for the
timing must face towards cam side of
assembly.
