Joining Crankcase
Halves
1. Apply High-Temp Sealant to the right-side mating
surface.
2. Lightly oil all bearings and grease all shafts in the
left-side crankcase.
3. Using a propane torch, heat the left-side crankshaft
bearing until the oil begins to smoke; then join the
two crankcase halves.

4. Using a plastic mallet, lightly tap the case halves
together until cap screws can be installed.
5. From the left side, install the 8 mm cap screws;
then tighten only until snug.
NOTE: Rotate the shafts back and forth to ensure
no binding or sticking occurs.
6. From the right side, install the remaining 8 mm
cap screws (two inside the case); then tighten only
until snug.
NOTE: Rotate the shafts back and forth to ensure
no binding or sticking occurs.
7. From the right side, install the case half 6 mm cap
screws; then tighten only until snug.
NOTE: Rotate the shafts back and forth to ensure
no binding or sticking occurs.
8. From the left side, install the 6 mm cap screws;
then tighten only until snug.
NOTE: Rotate the shafts back and forth to ensure
no binding or sticking occurs.
9. In a crisscross/case-to-case pattern, tighten the 8
mm cap screws (from steps 5-6) until the halves
are correctly joined; then tighten to 20 ft-lb.
NOTE: Rotate the shafts back and forth to ensure
no binding or sticking occurs.
10. In a crisscross/case-to-case pattern, tighten the 6
mm cap screws (from steps 7-8) to 8 ft-lb.
NOTE: Rotate the shafts back and forth to ensure
no binding or sticking occurs.
Installing
Engine/Transmission
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends that new gaskets
and O-rings be installed whenever servicing the
vehicle.
1. Attach suitable lifting chains to the engine/trans-
mission; then using an engine hoist, lower the
assembly into the engine compartment.

NOTE: The rear engine mounting bracket and
rear engine mounts should be attached to the
engine. The front engine mounting bracket should
be attached to the engine, and the front engine
mounts should be in the frame.
AT THIS POINT
After completing center crankcase components,
proceed to Installing Left-Side Components, to
Installing Right-Side Components, and to Installing
Top-Side Components.
! WARNING
Keep hands and fingers clear when lowering the
engine/transmission into place. The chains could
shift causing severe injury.
! CAUTION
Make sure that all wiring, hoses, and brake lines are
routed away from engine mounts and engine brack-
ets. Pinching or breaking of lines or shorting of wir-
ing could occur.
