Piston and Connecting Rod Assemble

In case of damage on piston, piston pin or connecting rod, all components of the piston assembly have to be replaced. The piston pin cannot be removed and reinstalled due to the shrink fit of connecting rod and piston pin. In case of replacement use a suitable, customary assembly tool.

1. Install the piston rings. Use piston ring pliers (1).




Note: Mind the TOP marking on the piston rings.

2. The piston rings must be ordered as follows:

•	Upper compression ring (1)

•	Lower compression ring (2)

•	Piston oil rings with spacer (3, 4)




3. The piston ring joints should be displaced as followed:

•	Upper compression ring joint (2)

•	Lower compression ring joint (5)

•	Oil ring joint, upper part (1)

•	Oil ring joint, lower part (4)

•	Oil ring spacer joint (3)
