(1) Install the flywheel to the crankshaft by aligning the hole with the dowel pin on the back-end of the crankshaft.

(2) Place the washer and tighten the four bolts to the specified torque.

Measurement of Flywheel Runout


Measurement of face runout and circular runout

Measure the flywheel runout with the flywheel installed to the crankshaft. If the standard value is exceeded, check the bolts for tightening condition and the mounting face for adhesion of foreign particles.

Cylinder Head and Valve Mechanisms


Installation of valve stem seal

(1) Apply engine oil to the valve stem, and insert it into the valve guide.

(2) Place a new stem seal on the valve guide.

Installation of Valves and Valve Springs


Installation of valve and valve spring

(1) Place the valve spring and retainer on the valve guide, and install the valve cotter using the valve spring pusher.

------ WARNING! ------


Excessive compression of the valve spring can cause the retainer to contact the stem seal and damage the seal.

--------WARNING!------


Confirmation of secure valve cotter installation

(2) Using a soft-faced hammer, tap the top of the valve stem several times to make sure that the spring and valve cotter are securely installed.

Installation of Cylinder Head Gasket


Installation of cylinder head gasket

(1) Make sure the top surface of the crankcase and piston upper surfaces are clean and free of dust.

(2) When installing the rocker shaft brackets, tighten the long bolts first, then tighten the short bolts (reversal of removal sequence).

Adjustment of Valve Clearances


Turning Engine


Confirmation of top dead center on compression stroke for cylinder No. 1

(1) Confirming the top dead center on the compression stroke for cylinder No. 1

(a) By engaging the turning handle on the crankshaft pulley nut, turn the engine in the forward rotating direction (clockwise when viewed from the front of the engine).

(b) Stop turning when the "0" line stamped on the periphery of the crankshaft pulley aligns with the piston on the timing gear case.

(c) Move up and down the inlet and exhaust valve rocker arms of cylinder No. 1 to make sure that they are not being pushed up by the pushrods. The piston in cylinder No. 1 is at the top dead center on the compression stroke when the rocker arms are not being pushed by the pushrods (there is a clearance in each valve). If the rocker arms are being pushed up by the pushrods, turn the crankshaft one more turn.

(2) Adjusting the valve clearances


Adjustment of valve clearance

(a) Insert a feeler gage between the rocker arm and valve cap to inspect the clearance.

(b) Loosen the locknut, and turn the adjusting screw in either direction until the feeler gage is slightly gripped between the rocker arm and valve cap.

(c) After the adjustment, tighten the lock nut securely and recheck the clearance.

(d) Turn the engine, and check the valve clearances on the remaining cylinders. The inspection sequence and turning angle are as follows:

------ WARNING! ------


When adjusting the valve clearances after disassembly, rotate the crankshaft 2 or 3 turns after adjustment, and recheck the valve clearances to make sure that the clearances conform to the standard.
