Warning: Connecting rods of the same engine must not differ from each other in weight by more than 8 g. When replacing a connecting rod, weigh it and replace it with a new one of exactly the same weight.
Lubricate the crankshaft journals and cylinder walls with engine oil.
Generously lubricate the piston skirt, piston pin and small connecting rod head with engine oil.
Insert the piston with the connecting rod into the cylinder so that the recess for the valves in the piston bottom faces the camshaft. To do this:
- using a device, compress the piston rings;
- using the hammer handle, lower the piston with the connecting rod into the cylinder until the connecting rod rests against the crank pin.
Turn the cylinder block 180° and place it on a support with the surface mating with the cylinder head.
Lubricate the bearings with engine oil, install the connecting rod caps and tighten the bolt nuts to a torque of 2.7 kgf·m.
Make sure that the connecting rods rotate freely on the crankshaft journals.
