NOTE: To check the bearing for proper position,
place the point of a sharp tool into the dimple found
in the bearing race. Strike the tool with the palm of
the hand in either direction. If the bearing moves, it
isn’t positioned correctly and must be rotated until it
drops onto the retaining pin.
9. Assemble the crankcase halves; then install the
crankcase cap screws securing the crankcase halves.
10. Tighten cap screws (1-10) in two steps using the pat-
tern shown. First tighten cap screws 1-10 to 15 ft-lb;
then tighten cap screws 1-10 to 33 ft-lb.
CAUTION
If the bearings are not properly seated during assembly,
the crankcase halves will not seal tightly and severe
engine damage will result.
