1.5. Slide piston fully into the cylinder bore.
1.5.1. Turn the crankshaft back and forth if necessary.
1.6. Insert dowel sleeves back into the bore holes -arrow-.
1.7. Oil connecting-rod bearing shells -5-.

Information

- Always replace the connecting-rod bearing shells and oil them before inserting them into the bearing covers.

- The connecting-rod big end and connecting-rod bearing caps must be aligned according to the cast lugs -B and C-. The retaining lugs of the connecting-rod bearing shells are on one side. Connecting-rod bearing caps are legible on alternate sides.





Twist lock

- Install connecting rod and connecting-rod bearing caps unrestrained. If necessary, remove them again, position the bearing caps by tapping lightly with a plastic hammer and then refit them.

1.8. Assign connecting rod bearing caps correctly and screw in the connecting rod bolts -7- by hand. When doing so, make sure that the locking lugs on the bearing shells are aligned.
1.9. Carefully tap the connecting rod bearing caps -6- with a plastic hammer until they are seated correctly so that the tightening torque will be accurate.
1.10. Tighten all connecting rod bearing screws -7- to the specified tightening torque.
1.11. Turn the crankshaft several times to check that it turns smoothly.
1.12. Align the crankshaft so that the gap -arrow- on the drive plate for the inductive pickup is facing downwards (rough TDC presetting).

6.3. Always observe tightening sequence (1-20) for cylinder-head screws -1-20- and tighten to the specified torque.
6.3.1. Tighten cylinder-head screws to an initial tightening torque of 15 Nm (11 ftlb.).
6.3.2. Tighten cylinder-head screws to 30 Nm (22 ftlb.).
6.3.3. Then tighten all cylinder-head screws a second time to 30 Nm (22 ftlb.).
6.3.4. And finally, tighten the cylinder-head screws to a torque angle of 180°.

Information

Installation of oil pan

Check the best-before date on the sealing compound.

The oil pan must be installed within 5 minutes of applying the silicone sealant.

The bead of sealant that is applied must not be thicker than the specified thickness because otherwise excess sealant can get into the oil pan and can block the strainer in the oil pump intake pipe.

Allow the sealant to dry for at least 30 minutes after installing the oil pan. Only then can engine oil be filled in.
