| 1. Clear a back part шатунного the loose leaf and a place of its installation in a rod and a rod cover. |
| 2. Clear шатунную a neck of a cranked shaft and without greasing establish a rod with the loose leaf on a cranked shaft. |
 |
3. Check up that the label on a rod is directed to a forward part of a cranked shaft. |
| 4. For check of a working backlash of the bearing of the bottom head of a rod use method Plastigage. In this case the round plastic core which is compressed between the loose leaf and a neck of a cranked shaft is used. |
| 5. After cover removal шатунного the bearing the deformed plastic core is measured by a special template which is available complete with Plastigage. |
| 6. Procedure for use Plastigage the following. Establish without greasing rods on a cranked shaft. Necks of a cranked shaft and loose leaves should be absolutely pure and dry |
| 7. Cut off some slices of plastic core Plastigage (they should be slightly shorter, than width of the main bearings) and establish on each neck of a cranked shaft. Establish covers with the bottom loose leaves and tighten bolts of fastening by the demanded moment. |
 |
8. Unscrew the bottom cover of a rod, remove it and to the deformed plastic core put the scale ruler printed on packing. Comparing width of the deformed plastic core with control width on a scale ruler, define backlash size. |
| 9. In end carefully clear traces of a Plastigage-material from loose leaves and a cranked shaft. |
| 10. Apply a thin film engine oil on working surfaces шатунных bearings and establish a rod on a neck of a cranked shaft. Establish the bottom cover of a rod and tighten bolts of fastening by the demanded moment. |
| 11. Similarly establish other rods on a cranked shaft. |
