Section 0 - Engine Disassembly and Assembly - Group 00 Engine Assembly (0-02) M11 Page 0-79 Complete the following steps to tighten the capscrews in alternating sequence: Torque Value: Step 1 - 68 [ 50 ft-lb] 2 - 142 [105 ft-lb] 3 - 210 [155 ft-lb] 4 - Loosen completely 5 - Repeat steps 1 thru 3 Connecting Rod Side Clearance Measure- ment Use a feeler gauge to measure the connecting rod side clearance. Connecting Rod Side Clearance mm in. 0.10 MIN 0.004 0.30 MAX 0.012 The rod must move freely from side-to-side. Piston Cooling Nozzle - Installation The piston and connecting rod assemblies must be in- stalled before the piston cooling nozzles are installed.
Rotate the crankshaft to position the connecting rod jour- nal toward the exhaust side of the engine. Install the nozzles and the special capscrews. Torque Value: 24 [18 ft-lb] The nozzle must be in alignment with the center of the notch in the piston skirt (1). NOTE: Rotate the crankshaft to be sure the pistons do not hit the nozzles. If the pistons hit the nozzles, the nozzles and engine will be damaged during engine operation.
