The amount of oil to be introduced in the
engine is 2.7 liters - without replacing the oi l-
filter - or 2.9 liters, after re placing the filter.
The minimum oil pre ssure at 80

-in the idle mode 1 bar
-at 4000 rot/min 3 bar
The oil pump belongs to the “gearwheel”
type. Take off the cap and a lso the clapper of
the oil-pump.
To check:

The arrow marke d by the end of the
piston must be directed towards the
flywheel. The conne c ting rods d o not ha ve a
mounting dire ction, but the spurs of t he
s emi-bushes will be positioned on the same
side. For the assembly of t he piston and the
connecting rod, the following directions
will be observe d:
-jack B13 is set onto the stand and t he pis-
ton (with the arrow pointing upwards) is
fixed on the jack;
-the centri ng device and the axis of
the piston are oiled with motor oil; -the free sliding of the piston axis is
checked, as well as the positioning of t he
piston. When the base of the connecting rod
reaches the needed tempera ture (ca. 250
o),
the speedy mounting of the pisto n axis
should be done in the following manner: -the centring guide is introduc ed in
the piston; -the rod i s positioned in the piston;
-the piston axis is pressed up to the
end. It should be checked if the piston axis
remains retracted as to the outer diameter
of the piston for any position of the con-
necting rod in the piston. The “ rod-piston-ring” sets a re mounted
in the cylinder jackets by using the
mounting jack. The waterti ght - se a l i ng f i t t i ngs a re
