spring installed in the Valve Plug.
Servicing the Pumping Section
Disassembly:
1. Remove the four (4) hex nuts or two (2) bolts from
the manifold (varies with model).
2. Rotate crankshaft by hand to start separation of
manifold from crankcase. Support the underside of
the manifold and tap lightly with a mallet to remove
the manifold assembly.
CAUTION
Keep manifold properly aligned with ceramic
plungers when removing to avoid damage to
either plungers or seals.
3. Remove oil pan and slide out seal retainer with
wicks.
4. Using a wrench, loosen the plunger retainer. Grasp
ceramic plunger and push toward crankcase until
plunger retainer pops out.
5. Remove plunger retainer with copper gasket,

5. Saturate new oil wick by soaking in oil, place in seal
retainer and slip retainer over ceramic plunger.
6. Replace oil pan.
7. Turn shaft by hand to line up plungers so end
plungers are parallel.
8. Carefully slip manifold onto plungers, keeping
manifold level, and tap with mallet to bring manifold
flush with crankcase.
9. Replace washers and nuts or bolts and torque per
chart.
