NOTE:
• Do not move the connecting rod or
crankshaft until the clearance mea-
surement has been completed.
• Lubricate the bolt threads and nut
seats with molybdenum disulfide
grease.
• Make sure that the “Y” mark
c
on the
connecting rod faces towards the left
side of the crankshaft.
• Make sure that the characters
d
on
both the connecting rod and connect-

e. Tighten the connecting rod nuts.
ACHTUNG:
CAUTION:
• When tightening the connecting rod
nuts, be sure to use an F-type torque
wrench.
• Without pausing, tighten the connect-
ing rod nuts to the specified torque.
Apply continuous torque between 2.0
and 3.6 m • kg. Once you reach 2.0 m •
kg, DO NOT STOP TIGHTENING until
the specified torque is reached. If the
tightening is interrupted between 2.0
and 3.6 m • kg, loosen the connecting
rod nut to less than 2.0 m • kg and
start again.
Refer to “INSTALLING THE PISTONS
AND CONNECTING RODS”.
