Assembly of connecting rods with pistons of the K4M engine (Renault Fluence 1)

The piston pins are installed with tension in the upper heads of the connecting rods and rotate freely in the piston bosses. Use the kit (Mot. 574-22) and adaptation (Mot. 574-24).

Visually check:

• condition of connecting rods (twisting and bending);
• cleanliness of the bearing surfaces of the cover and the crank head of the connecting rod.

Use a tile for heating with a power of 1500 watts.

Place the upper connecting rod heads on the tile.

Make sure the top heads of the connecting rods are in contact with the tile over the entire surface.

Place a nut on each connecting rod head (as a temperature indicator) a piece of tin solder at the point shown by the arrow in the figure, where the melting temperature is approximately 250°C.

Heat the upper connecting rod heads until the solder melts.
