- carefully clean the working surface of the liners and the crankpin and install the connecting rod-piston group on the crankshaft journal according to the numbering;
- place a piece of calibrated wire on the surface of the crankpin, install the cap and connecting rod and tighten the nuts to a torque of 50.96 N·m (5.2 kgf·m);
- remove the lid and, using the scale on the packaging and the flattening of the wire (Fig. 2-29), determine the size of the gap.
If the gap is within tolerance (0.036-0 086 mm) or not more than the wear limit (0.10 mm) you can install these liners without changing the diameter of the connecting rod journals.
If the gap is greater than the wear limit (0.10 mm), replace the liners with repair ones (Table 2-1) and grind the connecting rod journals according to the data on the repair dimensions of the crankshaft given in Chapter "Crankshaft and flywheel".

Numbers 0 25; 0.50, etc. indicate the amount of reduction in the diameter of the crankshaft journals after grinding.
