Do not dismantle the engine. The
Multi-Cylinder Saito engines are
assembled utilizing special jigs
and tools. If it becomes necessary
to disassemble the engine proper
due to crash damage or any other
reason, please forward your
engine to the Saito service center.
Normal engine maintenance, such
as adjusting the valves or carbure-
tor maintenance, is permissible
without voiding the warranty;
however, disassembly of the
cylinders, crankshaft, and cam
gear assembly should be done
only by the Saito Service Center
because of the special jigs and
tools required. If you have any
questions concerning maintenance
procedures, please contact the:
Saito Service Center at:
(217) 355-9511.
Our technicians will be happy to
advise you on maintenance issues.
Timing and cam gear alignment
should also be done by the Saito
Service Center.
After approximately one hour of
operation, tappet gap adjustment
may be necessary. Adjust the
valves to a clearance of .03mm -
.10mm (.002” - .004”) using the
supplied gauge. The valves must
be adjusted with the engine cold
due to thermal expansion.
NOTE: Valves must be in the
closed position as shown in the
figure. When adjustment is com-
pleted, make sure you tighten the
lock nut.When you check the
valves, lubricate the moveable
parts. Also make sure screw is in
tight before making adjustment to
values.
