or
A13-01 for the shouldered gudgeon pins.

y a quarter turn.
76716R PREPARATION OF THE CONNECTING RODS
Visually check:
- the condition of the connecting rod (twisting -
straightness),
- the bearing surface between the shells and the
connecting rod bodies (if necessary, remove
any burrs with a grinding wheel to obtain a co
r-
rect bearing surface).
Use a
1500 W heating plate.
Put the little ends on the heating plate.
Ensure that the whole surface of the little end is in
contact with the plate.
Put a piece of self-pickling tin solder with a mel-
ting point of about
250
° onto each little end at (a)
to act as a temperature check.
Heat the little end until the piece of self-pickling
solder melts.
