Assembly of pistons and connecting rods VR6

At assemblage of pistons and rods be guided by fig.
165. ♦ If you have replaced pistons, be sure to check that the new pistons are of the same design as the old ones.
♦ Prepare an appropriate arbor for installing the piston pin so that its diameter matches the diameter of the piston pin.
♦ Press, with only hand pressure, the pin through the heated piston and connecting rod as shown in fig.
164, considering the following recommendations. The arrow on the bottom of the piston (either drawn or stamped on new pistons) should point towards the drive chain (see fig. 161).

The tides on the connecting rod and its cover (see Fig. 163) should also be directed towards the drive chain. Numbers of cylinders embossed (see Fig. 162) on the connecting rods and their caps must match.
