DT466 piston connecting rods procedures
This section explains installing the piston rings in order (top compression, second compression, oil control) with expander tool ZTSE4220, staggering the ring gaps 120° apart, and matching connecting rod cap numbers away from the camside. Cylinder sleeve O-ring installation, sleeve protrusion checks and the bearing fitting procedure with correct bearing crush are included. Figures and numbered callouts illustrate each operation step by step, and every fastener is tightened to the special torque value published in the companion “Specifications, Special Torque Values, and Service Tools” section (publication EGES2101).
