Hi Military Vehicle List,

My name is HANDOKO, Iam Mil-Veh lover, I lived in
INDONESIA (South East Asia), I am in repairing my MB
Engine.
I need your help to solve my problem when Installing
Connecting Rod + Piston to the engine block and=20
Crankshaft , Could you please figure it out ?,
Because I confuse when I read the TM-803? published
by Potrayal Press and the mechanic's argument (who is
repairing my MB engine right now and he have experienced
with the jeep engine about 40 Years)

The Mechanic state that all the piston with the T -Slot side=20
and the oil squirt hole on the connecting rod are facing=20
to the valve side (righthand side from front view of the
engine.) He said that he experienced disassembly new
engine

The TM's state that all the piston with the T-Slot facing to the=20
Valve side but all of the oil squirt hole are facing opposite.

Which one is correct ? I could not rely on the book 100%
because this is a repro book, I am affraid the the publisher
make a mistake when editing.

And what is the problem that will appear, if we put it in
the wrong direction ?.

I have a question about the piston oiling mechanism, if all
of the connecting rod squirt hole facing to one side only,
what about the other side of the piston, when and from where the oil grease=
the=20
other piston side ?

And how to connecting the rod to the crankshaft,
as far as I know Connecting rod no 1 is the same as no 3
and no 2 is the same as no 4 , but how to distinguish it and to install it=20=
to=20
the crankshaft?

Please help me

Thank You Very Very Much in advance
