1
Clean cylinder contact surface.

2
Insert the two compression rings one after the other into the unworn area of the cylinder

wall and measure end clearance with

feeler gauge; replace piston rings, if necessary.

The gap clearance of the oil scraper ring cannot be checked because of its three-part

design. If the compression rings are replaced, the oil scraper ring must also be replaced.

For this step, mark conrod (4) and

connecting rod bearing cap (5) on one side

relative to each other.

Remove conrod (4) together with pistons (3)

by lifting up and out

If pistons have been used (3), the arrows

indicating the direction of the travel and the

markings on the pistons may no longer be

visible due to carbon deposits. For this

reason, remove the carbon deposits from the

pistons. If the arrows indicating direction of
travel on the pistons are no longer

recognizable, these must be re-marked.

Needle bushing

The plain bearing in the input shaft was

replaced by an anti-friction bearing (needle

bushing).

As a result, the inside diameter of the needle

bushing in the input shaft and the outside

diameter of the journal at the output shaft

have also changed.

When repairing a vehicle, therefore, both

shafts must be replaced.
