Piston and connecting rod

Removing

1

Remove the cylinder head as described in 
Cylinder head, removing.

2

Remove the oil sump.

3

Remove the piston cooling nozzle in the 
cylinder block.

IMPORTANT! The piston cooling nozzle must 
not be damaged. The oil jet must hit the piston 
precisely. If it does not, the piston will become 
too warm and result in engine breakdown. 
Damaged nozzles must not be re-aligned, renew 
them instead.

4

Remove the bearing cap and bearing shells. 
Protect the oilway in the crankshaft e.g. by 
winding tape around it with the adhesive 
side out.

5

Mark the piston before removing it. The 
parts must be refitted in the same place and 
position. Lift out the piston and connecting 
rod.

Note: Always check the connecting rod as 
described in Connecting rod, checking, if the 
cylinder has seized, been filled with water or 
had a broken valve. Bent connecting rods must 
not be straightened.
