INSTAll CrANkSHAFT

Lubricate magneto bearing and inside edge of oil seal with

engine oil and install crankshaft.

Figure 13-1. Installing Crankshaft

INSTAll PISToN ANd CoNNeCTING rod

Note: Install #1 piston and connecting rod first.

1. Lubricate piston rings, piston skirt, and Ring Compressor,

with oil.

a. Rotate the rings so that the ring end gaps are 90 degrees

from each other.

b. Place piston inside of ring compressor and set upside

down on bench with projections on compressor facing
up Figure 13-2.

c. Tighten ring compressor evenly until rings are fully

compressed.

d. Remove connecting rod cap.

2. Lubricate cylinder bores and crankpin and rotate crankshaft

until it is at bottom of stroke.

3. Install #1 piston with notch or casting mark towards fly-

wheel side, Figure 13-3.

a. Push piston down by hand, or with the handle of a

hammer, until connecting rod is seated on crankpin.

4. Assemble connecting rod cap to rod with match marks

aligned, Figure 13-4.

a. Torque screws to 24.4 Nm (216 in. lbs.).

5. Rotate crankshaft two revolutions to check for binding.

Rod should also be free to move sideways on crankpin.

Repeat Steps 1-5 for #2 cylinder.
