CRANKCASE INSTALLATION

Note: Make sure the Upper/Lower crankcases are with the same number mark.

Both are pairing of parts, assembly machining.

Thoroughly clean the crankcase mating surface.

Apply sealant uniformly to the crankcase mating surface as indicated. Do not

allow sealant to enter oil passages or get in bearings.

And set the upper crank case half down on top of the lower case.
