Altered crankshaft flange diameter
As of engine production date 06/10/08 crankshafts were installed whose crankshaft flange (3) had a diameter of 96 mm (it was previously a diameter of 93 mm).
During assembly of the end cover (2) (with a vulcanized crankshaft radial sealing ring (1)), it is therefore necessary to use
the insertion tool as mentioned.
