Note!
The combustion chamber and the weight class letter
should be on opposite sides!
2. Fit the piston pin circlips. Ensure that the circlips are
pressed correctly into the grooves. The circlip ends must
point upwards.
G. Fitting piston together with con-
necting rod.
1. Check that the bearing locations are clean and place the
bearing shells in the connecting rod and bearing cap. Note
the position of the bearing shells.
2. Lubricate piston, rings and cylinder bore. Ensure that the
piston ring gaps are spread around the piston.

3. Use a piston ring strap or preferably a fitting tool (9105
18700). Fit the piston with the marking on the connecting rod
(weight class) facing the camshaft (an arrow on the piston
must point forward).
4. Lubricate the big end bearing journal and bearing shells,
and push the piston down. Fit the bearing cap so that the
notches for the guide lugs are in the same side. Tighten the
connecting rod screws, see instruction
6 C
(page 6---2).
5. Check that the connecting rod has sufficient end float on
the big end bearing journal.
