Install the retaining ring. To do this, close the 4th journal of the shaft with a tapered guide sleeve so as not to damage its supporting surface.

Lubricate and install the 4th bearing. The annular groove in it should be directed towards the oil deflector disc.

Install the V-belt pulley key.

Install the connecting rods.

Installation



Caution! Oil outlet holes in the shaft journals and bearings must not have sharp edges.


If there are foreign metal inclusions on the working surface of the bearings, they must be carefully removed with a file, without damaging the bearing.

Attention! New bearings do not need to be processed.


Check the tightness of the mounting pins in the bearing holes.

Install the 2nd bearing into the hole.

Lubricate the 1st bearing with oil and install it on the shaft so that its holes for the mounting pins are directed towards the flywheel.

Install the crankshaft, making sure that all dowel pins are correctly inserted into the bearing bores.

When installing the crankshaft, it is necessary to take into account the marks of its mounting position in relation to the camshaft.
