NOTE: Make sure engine is assembled using all
specified torque values, tightening sequences,
and clearances. Failure to observe specifications
could cause severe engine wear or damage.
Always use new gaskets.
Make sure all traces of any cleaner are removed before
engine is assembled and placed into operation. Even
small amounts of these cleaners can quickly break down
lubricating properties of engine oil.
Check oil pan, crankcase, cylinder heads, and valve
covers to be certain all old sealing material has been
removed. Use gasket remover, lacquer thinner, or paint
remover to remove any remaining traces. Clean surfaces
with isopropyl alcohol, acetone, lacquer thinner, or
electrical contact cleaner.

oil seal.
3. Install oil seal into crankcase using a seal driver.
Make sure oil seal is installed straight and true in
bore and tool bottoms against crankcase.

1. Install breather filter between 2 ribs inside inner
breather chamber.
2. Make sure sealing surfaces are clean and free of
nicks or damage. Install a new breather cover gasket
and breather cover onto chamber.
3. Secure breather cover with M6 screw. Torque screw
to 10.7 N·m (95 in. lb.) into a new, cored hole, or
7.3 N·m (65 in. lb.) into a used hole.
Install Governor Cross Shaft
1. Lubricate governor cross shaft bearing surfaces in
crankcase with engine oil.
2. Slide lower washer onto governor cross shaft and
install cross shaft from inside of crankcase.
3. Install nylon washer onto governor cross shaft, then
start push-on retaining ring. Hold cross shaft up in
position, place a 0.50 mm (0.020 in.) feeler gauge on
top of nylon washer, and push retaining ring down
