Separating new conrod
On new conrods it is possible that the breaking point is not fully
separated. Proceed as follows, when the conrod bearing cap
cannot be removed by hand:
– Mark cylinder allocation of conrod
⇒ Item 4 (page 40)
– Lightly clamp the conrod in a vice using aluminium vice
clamps, as shown in the illustration.
Note
♦
To prevent damage to the conrod, only clamp conrod in lightly.
♦
Conrod is clamped below the dashed line.
– Unscrew the two bolts -arrows- approx. 5 turns.
– Using a plastic hammer, carefully knock against conrod bear‐
ing cap in -direction of arrow- until it is loose.
