RTV silicone sealant is used as a gasket between
closure plate and crankcase. Always use fresh sealant.
Using outdated sealant can result in leakage.
1. Be sure sealing surfaces have been cleaned and
prepared.
2. Check to make sure that there are no nicks or burrs
on sealing surfaces of closure plate or crankcase.
3. Apply a 1/16" bead of sealant to sealing surface of
closure plate.
4. Make sure end of governor cross shaft is lying
against bottom of cylinder 1 inside of crankcase.
5. If alignment pins were removed previously, install
them in their respective locations in crankcase.
6. Install closure plate on crankcase. Carefully seat
camshaft and crankshaft into their mating bearings.
Rotate crankshaft to help engage oil pump and
governor gear meshes.
7. Install screws securing closure plate to crankcase. If
a thick
fl
at washer was used on one of screws,
install it in number 10 location. Install silver plated
(ground) screw in its original location (normally
number 4 or 6 location). Torque fasteners, in torque
sequence shown to 24.4 N·m (216 in. lb.).

NOTE: Do not reinstall or attempt to reuse any cylinder
studs that have been removed. Discard any
removed stud(s) and replace with new.
If any of cylinder studs were removed, install new stud(s)
as follows:
1. Identify longer threaded end of new stud containing
Loctite

Dri-Loc
®
.
2. Tighten nuts together on shorter threaded section,
with identi
fi
cation mark on end.
3. Thread end of stud with Loctite

into crankcase, until
an exposed stud height of 75 mm (2 61/64 in.) is
obtained. End with dash mark must be out. When
threading in studs, use a steady tightening motion,
without interruption, until proper height is obtained.
Frictional heat from engaging threads may otherwise
cause locking compound to set up prematurely.
Remove two nuts.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for each of studs.
