Crankshaft, Connecting Rods and Pistons
5. The liners must be positioned such they do not
touch each other - it must be possible to pass a
0.1 mm feeler gauge between the centre liner and its
adjacent liner on either side. If the liners touch at any
point, rotate the liners until there is a minimum
0.1 mm clearance.
1. Liners
Note:
•
Ensure that the piston/liner/connecting rod
assembly aligns correctly with the
crankshaft journal during assembly into the
crankcase.
6. Select the big end bearing shells <see page 5-10>.
Z
Fit the bearing shells to the connecting rod and big
end cap and lubricate with a 50/50 solution of
engine oil and molybdenum disulphide grease.
8. Align the connecting rod to the crankshaft and fit the
big end cap.

2. Connecting rod bolt
The torque characteristics of the connecting rod bolts
are sensitive to the correct lubrication being applied. If
the threads and under head areas are not lubricated
with molydenum disuplhide grease, the bolts may be
stretched and may become loose when in service
resulting in an expensive engine failure.
9.
Lubricate the threads and under-head area of the
new bolts with molybdenum disulphide grease.
Tighten the bolts evenly and progressively in five
stages as follows:
The torque characteristics of the connecting rod bolts
are sensitive to the rate at which they are tightened. If all
the torque is applied in one action, the bolt may be
stretched and may become loose when in service
resulting in an expensive engine failure.
a) tighten to 22 Nm;
b) release 120°;
cl
tighten to 10 Nm;
d) tighten to 14 Nm;
e) tighten through 120° of bolt rotation as measured
using the Triumph torque turn gauge
