- Insert and install the crankshaft (1).NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The crankshaft bearing cap, main bearing shell and guide bearing shell are aligned with each other.
Always install the crankshaft bearing cap, main bearing shells and guide bearing shells in the cylinder from which they were removed. - Observe numbering on the main bearing cap.
- Position the main bearing cap.
- Tighten the screws in the sequence (1) - (10).TIGHTEN TORQUES SPECIFICATION
Main bearing cap to crankcase M10x1.5
Replace screws.1. Joining torque 25 Nm 2. Angle of rotation 60° 3. Angle of rotation 60° Checking the crankshaft side clearance
Check
- Attach the dial gauge 0 493 144 (11 6 251)
with the tripod 0 493 145 (11 6 252)
to the engine and measure the side clearance of the crankshaft.TECHNICAL DATA SPECIFICATION
Axial play of crankshaft Min. 0.060 mm Max. 0.250 mm Result
» The side clearance is exceeded.
Measure
- Replace worn components.
- Feed out a lint-free cleaning cloth (1) between the counterbalance shaft (2) on the intake side and crankcase (3) and remove it.
- Make sure that the needle bearing (4) is not
damaged.
- Put crankshaft (2) in OT position or adjust.
- Position counterbalance shaft (1) of inlet side on the crankshaft (2) in arrow direction .
- The mark on the gear (1) of the intake for the counterbalance shaft must point upwards, vertical
to the oil sump sealing surface (3).
- Replace the screw (1).
Parts : Screw
- Screw the screw (1) into the counterbalance shafts of the inlet side.
- Do not
tighten screw (1) as otherwise it may not be possible to position the counterbalance shafts in the next step.
- Rotate the crankshaft to the TDC of the first cylinder.
- Mount the special tool 2 288 054
and abut the screws (1).NOTE: The description is for one component only. The procedure is identical for all further components.
- Observe the correct fit of special tool 2 288 054 in the guides (1) of counterbalance shafts (2).
- If necessary, turn the crankshaft slightly.
- Tighten special tool 2 288 054
