To check the clearance proceed as follows:
- clean all the parts accurately and remove any traces of oil;
- arrange the bearings in their seats;
- place a length of calibrated wire (1) on the drive shaft pins
(2).
- connect the connecting rods to the journals of the
crankshaft and fit the connecting rod caps together with
the half bearings;
- tighten the screws, which have been previously lubricated
with UTDM oil, with a dynamometer spanner to a
prescribed torque;
- remove the cap.
Measure the existing play by comparing the width of the
calibrated wire with the graduated scale shown on the package
which contained the wire. If the measured play is not equal to
the prescribed value, replace the bearing halves and repeat the
check.
- When the rod—piston group have been assembled, check
for piston protrusion at T.D.C. from the upper engine
block level.
- The protrusion should be from — 0.21 to +0.59 mm.

!
Upon final reassembly, the big end cap fastening
screws must always be replaced.
- Manually check that the connecting rods can be moved
sideways on the drive shaft pins.
