Connection Rod
The connecting rod, made of forged steel, is provided with a balancing weight (A) at the crankshaft bearing (big-end) to
compensate for manufacturing tolerances with regards to weight and the position of the centre of gravity.
The number markings at the crankshaft (big-end) bearing end and on the crankshaft bearing cap must face in the same direction
and must have the same number.
Guide lugs in the upper and lower bearing shells prevent rotation in the bearing position.
The piston must be fitted so that the flywheel symbol on the piston top faces the flywheel.
