Description of Change: A new rear housing assembly with an integral crankshaft rear seal has been introduced for the above machine engines. The new rear housing assembly is manufactured as a one-piece unit. The engine block and the bridge piece have also changed in order to accommodate the new rear housing assembly.

Note: Engines that were built before the above serial numbers must use the 112-5540 Housing Assembly and the 4W-5360 Crankshaft Seal .

Adaptable To: The new rear housing assembly is NOT adaptable to earlier models. There are two types of the new rear housing assembly. The 209-9218 Housing Assembly is the standard version. The 211-7556 Housing Assembly is equipped with a dust cover. The 211-7556 Housing Assembly is used on engines with open flywheel housings. Both versions are available.

If a wear groove on the crankshaft flange has occurred, a 209-8228 Sleeve must be used when replacement of the rear housing assembly is required.
