Before proceeding with side cover assembly, check lip seal conditions on the radial ring. If replacement is
necessary, position the new ring using tool #F27904800 as indicated in fig. 8.
Apply the lower half-bearings to the con-rod caps (1, fig. 10) ensuring that the reference notches are posi-
tioned in their housing on the cap (2, fig. 10).
If the shaft should present a diameter wear corresponding to the lip seal, to prevent grinding,
position the ring in the second stroke as indicated in fig. 8.
Before assembling the indicator side cover, ensure the presence of shim rings. To facilitate filling of the first
section and relative press fitting of the covers on the casings, we recommend using 3 M6x40 screws,
(1, fig. 9), then complete the operation with supplied screws (M6x18).
Couple the shanks to the previously disassembled con-rod caps, referring to the numbering (1, fig. 11).
Note the correct assembly of the caps. Numbering must be turned upward.
