1. has any of you installed Pauter connecting rods for the N54 and can tell me a little more about the adjustments needed? I bought the most expensive connecting rods so that I wouldn't have any problems, now I have the problem that the X shaft hits the cylinder bottom and blocks the crankshaft. According to the homepage, if it doesn't fit, you shouldn't edit anything on the connecting rod, but mill off a part of the cylinder base. Now the question is whether that is good, because the lower part of the cylinder is made of aluminum and the cylinder liner sits on it.
"Some makes of small bore-long stroke engines may require minor notching of the cylinder block to allow full rod rotation cycle without interference. This should be done prior to final engine cleaning and assembly. Allow 1/16″ (1.5mm) minimum clearance. Also take care to watch the location of the oil ring at BDC so as not to encroach on the ring seal with clearance groove. DO NOT MODIFY ROD BEAM!
In some engines, main bearing girdles may also present clearance issues, be certain to check unit for interference prior to final cleanup and assembly."
2. the second thing, I bought new ARP head studs at a partout, unfortunately there is no instruction on how to put them on. has someone installed this and can give me the data? It is the variant with the M11 and M9 studs, i.e. the ones without drilling out the thread
thank you
