Pistons and piston rings, installing
 
     
Pistons  
    
Position: arrow on piston crown must always face in direction of travel.   
Note:  
Do not use a center-punch or similar, as pistons have a special coating.  
Checking piston diameter   -  Mark cylinder number on piston crown with waterproof felt pen. 
    
- 
Measure pistons approx. 10 mm from bottom of skirt, at 90  to piston 
pin axis.  
Difference between actual and nominal diameter: not more than 
0.04 mm.

Cylinder bores, checking
 
    
Piston and cylinder dimensions  
Note:  
Replacement pistons are only available with basic dimension.  -  Measure bores at three points in both directions: across engine -A- and 
in line with crankshaft -B-. 
   Use internal dial gauge 50 to 100 mm.
 
Difference between actual and nominal diameter: not more than 
0.08 mm.

bearings, installing
 
     
Note:  
     
Only replace complete sets of connecting 
rods 
     Do not interchange connecting rod bearings.
    
Checking radial clearance   -  Before removing, mark positions of connecting rod bearing caps with a 
felt pen or similar. 
-  Remove connecting rod bearing cap. Clean bearing cap and bearing 
journal. 
-  Place a length of Plastigage corresponding to width of bearing on 
bearing journal or bearing shell. 
-  Install connecting rod bearing cap and tighten to 20 Nm. Do not rotate 
crankshaft. 
-  Remove connecting rod bearing cap again.
-  Compare width of Plastigage with calibrated scale.Clearance when new  
Wear limit  
0.015 ... 0.062 mm   0.12 mm  -  Install new connecting rod bearing bolts.
