Main data (mm) of the connecting rod, piston
pin bushing and half bearings
*
Inside diameter to be measured after installing in
the small end and regrinding with a reamer.
** Cannot be measured free.
NOTE:
The connecting rod -- connecting rod cap mat-
ing surfaces are knurled for a better coupling. It is
therefore recommended not to remove the knurling.
Each connecting rod is marked:
-- On the body and cap with a number indicating
their coupling and the cylinder in which it is
mounted.
-- In the event of replacement, number the new rod
with the same number as the replaced connect-
ing rod. On the body of the connecting rod with
a letter indicating the weight class of the connect-
ing rod mounted in production:
-- V, 1600g to 1640g (marked in yellow);
-- W, 1641g to 1680g (marked in green);
-- X, 1681g to 1720g (marked in blue).
Connecting rods are supplied as spare parts in class
W and marked in green.
Removing material is not permissible.
Bushings
Check that the bushing in the small end has not come
loose and shows no sign of scoring or seizure. If this
is not so, change it.
Disassembly and assembly are performed with a
suitable drift.
When driving in, make sure that the oilways in the
bushing and small end coincide. Using a boring
machine, regrind the bushing to obtain the
prescribed diameter.
