Crankshaft, Connecting Rods and Pistons
Installation
1. Thoroughly clean the liner removing all traces of old
silicone sealer.
2. Remove all traces of sealer from the crankcase bores.
3. Apply silicone sealer to the liner to crankcase mating
face <at the factory, ThreeBond 1215 is used).
4. Fit each liner over the piston using a gentle rocking
motion to allow compression of the piston rings.

1. Liner
2. Sealer area
3. Cha mfer
Note:
•
The liners have a large chamfer at the
bottom of the bore enabling fitting of the
piston without need for a piston ring
compressor.
Fit each liner over whichever piston is at TDC. When
turning the engine, do not allow the pistons to contact
the inside of the crankcase and also do not allow fitted
liners to lift off the crankcase base.
5. Continue fitting each liner in turn until all are fitted
and sealed.
Note:
•
When the liners have been fitted, they
should not be disturbed. If it is necessary to
remove the liner after fitting, the sealer
must be re-applied.
Crankcase Breather
The upper crankcase is fitted with a labyrinth type
breather system, which requires no maintenance. During
engine disassembly and overhaul, check the oil drain tube
for blockage and contamination.
