CYLINDER COVER, OIL SEAL, AND BEARING SERVICE
The following procedures, except oil seal replacement, require the engine to be disassembled. See "Engine
Disassembly Procedure" in this chapter.
Cylinder Cover
Clean and inspect the cover, looking for wear and scoring of the bearing surfaces. Measure the bearing surface
diameters using a micrometer and check the specifications for worn or damaged parts. Replace as necessary.
When reinstalling the cover, apply a drop of Loctite 242 to the cover screw threads and torque the cover screws
to the recommended specification. Always use new gaskets and new oil seals installed using seal protectors
after the cover is removed.
Oil Seal Service
NOTE:
BEFORE REMOVING THE OIL SEAL,
CHECK TO SEE IF THE SEAL IS RAISED OR
RECESSED. WHEN INSTALLING A NEW OIL SEAL,
TAP IT INTO POSITION GENTLY UNTIL IT IS
SEATED INTO ITS BOSS. SOME SEALS ARE NOT
POSITIONED FLUSH TO THE CYLINDER COVER.
ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL THE SEAL TOO FAR IN
CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE OIL SEAL AND
ENGINE.
If the crankshaft is removed from the engine, remove
the old oil seals by tapping them out with a screwdriver
or punch from the inside. If the crankshaft is in place,
remove the seal by using the proper oil seal puller
(diag. 50).
Select the proper seal protector and driver from the
tool list in Chapter 11 to install a new oil seal. Place
the oil seal over the protector and place it over the
crankshaft. Drive the seal into position using the
universal driver part no. 670272. The seal protector
will insure that the seal is driven in to the proper depth
(diag. 51).
CRANKSHAFT BEARING SERVICE
Ball Bearing Service
Remove the two bearing retainer screws and washers.
Remove the ball bearing in the cylinder cover by
pressing the bearing from the outside of the cover
toward the inside using an arbor press.
Install a new ball bearing by pressing the bearing from
the inside of the cover toward the outside until the
bearing contacts the shoulder. Install the two bearing
retainer screws with washers and tighten to 45 in. lbs.
(5.0 Nm) of torque.
