Square ring Height mm 1.2
Tapered ring Height mm 1.5
Oil scraper Height mm 2.5
Ring gap offset 180
Note that the upper steel band ring gap is offset 25 to 50mm to
the left and the lower 25 to 50mm to the right opposite the
intermediate ring gap.

Installation When installing piston pins,
heat con-rods to approx.
280C in oil bath. This
temperature should under no
circumstances be exceeded.
Crankshaft, Cylinder Block (continued)
The permissible weight variation of con-rods without piston and
bearing shell inside an engine is 8 g.
As the con-rods do not have balancing studs, reworking is not
possible.
Con-rods can only be replaced in sets.
