1. Measure the basic bore of the connecting rod bearing.Notice If the basic bore exceeds the value of 51.614mm, replace the bearing or check the connecting rod.
2. Check connecting rod bolts.
3. Check the assembly mark(indication//or number:arrow) of the connecting rods and the bearing cap when installing. Notice
Make sure it doesn ’t exceed over 4g with other
connecting rods when replacing the connecting rods.
Check if the connecting rod and the bearing cap are accurately seated on the groove when replacing the bearing.
Notice If the length exceeds max. length, replace it.

The twelve-sided socket head bolts are tightened with each stages of torque and torque angle. It is not necessary to retighten the cylinder head bolts at the 1000~1500km inspection or after 1000~1500km of repairs.
Notice The cylinder head may only be removed when the engine has cooled down. The cylinder head is removed together with the exhaust manifold. As the cylinder head bolts undergo a permanent tightening. They require to bereplaced if they exceed the maximum lengthes indicatedin the table.
