jacket-sealing part .
Preparation of the pi st o n- and-jacket set
The parts supplied in the collection are
matched. Do the line-up marking of the set, from
A to D, in orde r to keep the pa rts matched.
Remove completely the anti-rust fi lm;
never era se the parts.
These engines are equipped with rub-
ber rings for jacket watertight-sealing;
these rings ensure only watertight-seal-
ing condition. The jackets lean directly
against the cylinder cra nkcase; extra
height X is achieved by the manufac-
turer.
The checking-up of the jacket extra -
height is done in the fol lowing way: -the jackets a re pl ace din the block
without their sealing-ring;
-extra-h eight X is checked by
means of the MOT.251 and MOT.252-01
devices.

The jackets are positioned such a way as:
-the difference be tween two succes-
sive jackets should be max. 0.05 mm; -the extra-height should be placed i n
ascending order between cylinder s 1 and 4.
-the extra-height X must be within
0.02 mm and 0.09 mm;
-in case there is an erroneous extra -
height, it is c hecked a gain by means of a
new set of jackets in orde r to see whether
the cause is the block or the jacket; if not,
check the theore tical values of both the
block and the jackets. The A, B, C, D set is done over with
the correct extra -height obtained, then the
jackets, the bolts and the pistons are num-
bered from 1 to 4 (no. 1 towards the fly-
w heel), so that t he concorda nce with t he
corresponding connecting rods is found.
The axes of the pistons a re m ounted by
means of the MOT 574-22 device.
The axes of the pistons are fixed in the
rod, and loose in the pistons.
Check i f the axes of t he pistons slide
freely in the new corre sponding pistons.
The axis of piston E is mounted on the
mounting axis A.
The C centring device is screwed up to
the end and then unscrewed a quart er of a
rotation.
THE CYLINDER CRANKCASE
In order to heat the connecting rods an
electric range of 1 500 W is used.

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

The rings are mounted: -the oiling ring;
-the watertight-sealing ring (with the
“TOP” mark pointing upwards); -the compression ring (with the “TOP”
mark pointing upwards). The slits of the ri ngs being adjusted, they
shall never be altered; they are oiled and the
rings are positioned; the slit of t he oi ling ring
will be placed opposite a full part of its channel.
