Clearance For short-blocks and cylinder blocks with
complete pistons, the clearance is 0.02 to

For replacement (oversize), depending on
available pistons, a clearance of 0.02 to
0.04mm is permissible

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.
