DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
Lubricate the following parts with oil before mounting: the
piston pin, the piston, the cylinder and the big-end bearing
Piston, refitting
Couple the piston to the connecting-rod by inserting the pin (after it
has been lubricated) and simply pressing with the thumb.
Fit in the two circlips that hold the pin in place and make sure that
they are well housed in their seats; also see fig. 70.
Using a piston ring clamp, fit the piston into the cylinder so that the
intake valve impression (larger than the exhaust one) on the crown is
pointing towards timing system side A.
Couple the piston/connecting-rod unit to the crank shaft: consult fig.
83 for the head/connecting-rod torque value.
Piston protrusion test
Establish value A of each piston by checking in four different
diagonally opposite points of the piston crown, then make sure that
the protrusion does not exceed the following values: 0.95 to 1.27.
Series LGW 523-627 has a head gasket with a single thickness
measurement (1.65 mm). This means that the clearance can be 0.38
min. to 0.70 max..
Only remove the head gasket from its protective wrapping just
before assembly
Head gasket
The head must not be re-torqued after the running test.
Head torquing
Use a torque wrench with an angular torquing tool, see fig. 81.
Measure the length of each bolt (initial free length = 89.5 to 90.5
mm). Replace it if it exceeds 92 mm.
Lubricate with low viscosity engine oil.
