the value must be H-h less than 0.02 mm; otherwise, renew the connecting rod.
The cylinder head diameter must be within the specified values (Sect. 3 - 1.1, Cylinder/Piston).
It is preferable to use crankshafts and connecting rods of the same size class.
Renewal of the connecting rod bearings
It is good practice to renew the bearings (7) each time the engine is overhauled.
Replacement bearings are supplied ready for assembly and they must not be reworked with scrapers or emery cloth.
Renewal of the small end bushing
To renew the bushing (6) use the tool shown in figure to simultaneously drive out the old bushing and install the new one
(A).
Position the new small-end bushing so that the split is at 90° relative to the upper hole in the small-end.
