6 Remove connecting rod bearing cap (5) IMPORTANT For this step, mark conrod (4) and connecting rod bearing cap (5) on one side relative to each other.  
7 Remove conrod (4) together with pistons (3) by lifting up and out IMPORTANT If pistons have been used (3), the arrows indicating the direction of the travel and the markings on the pistons may no longer be visible due to carbon deposits. For this reason, remove the carbon deposits from the pistons. If the arrows indicating direction of travel on the pistons are no longer recognizable, these must be re-marked.  
8 Remove circlip (1) of piston pin (2) IMPORTANT Do not damage piston (3). Place a clean cloth underneath.  
9 Press out piston pin (2)    
INSTALLING Install     
10 Assign piston (3) to cylinder bore   AR03.10-P-7021-02BV 
11 Oil piston pin (2) and conrod bush    
12 Assemble piston (3) and conrod (4) IMPORTANT Install piston (3) with arrow in direction of travel.  
13 Push in piston pin (2) by hand    
14 Insert circlip (1) of piston pin (2) in the groove on piston (3) IMPORTANT Do not damage piston (3). Place a clean cloth underneath.  
15 Oil the cleaned parts (cylinder bore, conrod bearing journal, conrod bearing shells and pistons)    
16 Fit the tensioning strap (10) and tighten IMPORTANT Piston ring gaps must be offset 120°. SPECIAL TOOL Tensioning strap Fig 2
17 Install piston (3) with arrow pointing in direction of travel IMPORTANT Rotate crankshaft sufficiently so that the connecting rod does not touch the connecting rod journal when the piston is pushed into the cylinder bore.  
18 Inspect the conrod bolts (6) Thread and shank length AR03.10-P-6111-01BV 
*BE03.10-P-1001-03A 
19 Install the conrod bearings and fit the conrod bearing cap (5) NOTES The connecting rod bearing shell (7) with oil drilling (arrowed) must be mounted in the connecting rod, otherwise the piston pin (2) is not lubricated.
The anti-twist locks (8) of the connecting rod bearing shells (7) must be seated in the grooves (9) in the conrods (4) and connecting rod bearing caps (5).
The connecting rod and connecting rod bearing cap are cracked (broken) (arrowed). They must not be installed the wrong way round!

21 Rotate crankshaft IMPORTANT To check for unobstructed movement.  
22 Install oil pump
  • Ensure that the oil return shutoff valve is correctly located.
  • Clean the oil pump strainer.
  • Fill the oil pump with engine oil before installing, so that oil is delivered at the initial startup.
