3.2.15. Removal of pistons and rods
THE GENERAL DATA
The prevention

For removal of pistons and rods it is necessary to remove a head of cylinders and the pallet. On engines M10 and М20 it is necessary to remove also the oil pump (subsection 3.1.15 see).

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. If in the top part of cylinders the fillet (it is checked наоprobeь) it should be removed development was formed, otherwise at piston removal it is possible to break rings.
2. Turn the engine коленвалом upwards.
3. Check up axial люфт rods, inserting probeы between a cheek коленвала and a rod. Axial люфт it will be equal to a total thickness probeов at which люфт disappears. If axial люфт a rod exceeds standard value it is necessary to replace rods. If new rods are established (or коленвал) axial люфт can be less norms (in this case it is necessary прошлифовать rods, if necessary consult in a car-care centre workshop). Repeat procedure for other rods.
4. In the absence of labels on rods and covers of rods накерните on them number of the corresponding cylinder.
5. Loosen the an inhaling of nuts шатунных covers, turning on them on 1/2 turns at one time, until then while nuts not begin to turn away by hand. Uncover a rod of the first cylinder together with the loose leaf, the loose leaf from a cover do not take.

6. Push out the piston with a rod and the loose leaf through the top part of the cylinder, preliminary having dressed on hairpins (if are available) hose pieces. If resistance to piston moving check up cleanliness of removal of a fillet is felt.
7. Turning коленвал, get rods with pistons from other cylinders.
8. Collect rods with covers and bearings, tighten nuts of covers by hand. The piston from a rod yet do not remove.
