Refitting

- Position the connecting rod-piston assembly in a vice fitted with protective jaws.

1. Remove the rings (1a) from the piston using the tool (1b).

1. Remove the circlips.

2. Release the gudgeon pin (2a) and separate the connecting rod (2b) from the piston (2c).

The small end bush cannot be separated from the actual connecting rod. The bush is therefore handled by the Parts Dept. together with the connecting rod.

Removing

1. Join the connecting rod to the piston so that the gudgeon pin offset is facing the number stamped on the big end.

- Fit the gudgeon pin circlips.

- Place the connecting rod-piston assembly in a vice fitted with protective jaws and fit the seals on the piston using a suitable tool.

All the seals are fitted with the word TOP upwards.

When the fitting is completed, position the references on the piston rings so that they are not aligned with the gudgeon pin axis and are 120° offset from one another.
