Cleaning and Inspection
Clean all parts with parts cleaning solvent and dry
with compressed air. All nut and screw threads
coated with thread locking material must be thor-
oughly cleaned before assembly. When using a
thread locking product, be sure to prime the
threads with
Locquic Primer
.
Examine the upper and lower thrust mounts, and
replace if deteriorated or damaged.
Before checking the exhaust housing for distor-
tion, thoroughly clean the top and bottom mating
surfaces and remove all sealer and corrosion.
Check the exhaust housing for distortion. Place
the housing on a surface plate. Using a dial indi-
cator, check flatness by measuring the run-out on
the top edge of housing. The maximum allowable
run-out is 0.009 in. (0.228 mm). If you do not have
access to a dial indicator and surface plate, seek
the services of a machine shop. DO NOT attempt
to straighten a distorted housing. Replace it.
IMPORTANT:
A distorted exhaust housing will
cause the upper driveshaft splines to wear exces-
sively and will damage the crankshaft splines.
Inspect the water tube for obstructions or kinks,
which may restrict water flow.
