Concerns: 

Cylinder liner in crankcase 

Information: 

If piston rings/pistons or the crankcase need to be replaced, a mixed installation can damage the cylinder liner. 

Due to

• modified production methods  during the manufacture of the crankcase => from smooth honing to structural honing 
• and the use of a different coating on the piston rings  (now DLC-coated)

only the combinations specified below are permitted. 

=> Before carrying out any other work, check whether the cylinder liners are smooth-honed or structurally honed:

1. A) Cylinder liners are smooth-honed  (> Figure 1  , old - crankcase no longer available)

   • Spare parts requirements:  One or more pistons and piston rings (old type without DLC coating => now available again) 

   => All pistons with piston rings can be replaced again in the usual way. 

   • Spare parts requirements:  Crankcase (old type, smooth-honed - no longer available)

   => All pistons with piston rings and the crankcase must be replaced with new components.

   * When replacing the crankcase, refer to TI 24/13

• Spare parts requirements:  One or more pistons and piston rings

=> Only replace the required piston(s). 

• Spare parts requirements:  Crankcase

=> Only replace the crankcase. 

* When replacing the crankcase, refer to TI 24/13
