Piston, Installing

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Funnel for Piston Installation (T10333)

• The funnel for piston installation (T10333) with a piston inserted for assembly is placed on the cylinder block so that the high straight side of the tool - arrow - faces toward the center of the cylinder block.






Procedure

- Before installing the piston, remove the alignment sleeve - arrow - from the cylinder block.






- The pistons for cylinders 1, 3 and 5 must be installed so that the deep valve recesses - 1 - point toward the center of the cylinder block and the arrows - 3 - point toward the vibration damper.






- The pistons for cylinders 2, 4 and 6 must be installed so that the deep valve recesses - 2 - point toward the center of the cylinder block and the arrows - 3 - point toward the vibration damper.






- Slide the correct piston for each cylinder into the tool from above until the short side of the piston - arrow - extends approximately 15 mm (0.59 inches) out of the lower edge of the tool.






- Now, place the piston with the tool into the appropriate cylinder bore. The high side of the tool - arrow - must face toward the center of the cylinder block.

- Place the tool securely on the cylinder block and slide the piston completely into the cylinder bore.






- After the pistons have been installed, place the alignment sleeve - arrow - back into the cylinder block.
