wear and replace if necessary.
2. Install the new crankshaft sprocket (12) by using a drift (21).
Notice
Align the groove of sprocket and woodruff key (arrow)
exactly.
Drift 116 589 07 15 00
3. Fit the timing chain (4) on the crankshaft sprocket (12).
Notice
Align the alignment marks (arrow) on the chain and sprocket.
4. Install the camshaft sprocket (3).

Notice
There are two kinds of connecting rods (for machining) and they are different in weight approx. 15g. When replacing
the connecting rod, measure its weight and ensure that a engine has the same weight of connecting rods. If not, there
would be a unbalancing of engine.

1B3-166 OM600 ENGINE MECHANICAL
Installation Procedure
1. Fit the piston onto the connecting rod so that the arrow
(15) and the locking slot (16) are facing in direction of the
vehicle.
2. Coat the piston pin (15) with engine oil and insert it by hand.
Notice
Do not heat up the piston.
3. Install the new snap ring (4) into the grooves (arrow).
4. Check the piston rings (1, 2, 3) and replace them if
necessary.
5. Install and arrange the piston rings to be evenly 120° from
each ends gap.

12. Coat the bolts (12) with oil and then tighten the bolts.
Tightening Torque 40Nm + 90°
13. Rotate the crankshaft and check axial clearance between
the connecting rod and crankshaft.
14. Measure clearance between the piston crown and cylinder
StandardMax. 0.12mm
15. Position the piston at TDC and measure the distance
between the piston crown and the crankcase surface.
Notice
Measure at points marked.
