CRANKSHAFT INSTALLATION

Before installing the crankshaft, lubricate all bearing sur-
faces with engine oil. Seal protectors should be used to
prevent damage to oil seals during installation. Install the
crankshaft as follows:
1. Lubricate all bearing surfaces with engine oil.
2. Install the valve tappets.
3. Support both ends of the crankshaft and carefully install
into the crankcase.
4. Rotate the crankshaft until the timing mark (Figure 11.10)
is toward the cam gear side of the crankcase.

SECTION 11: CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT

NOTE: If the crankshaft gear is spun on the crankshaft,
the timing will be off. If this happens, the crankshaft
must be replaced.

CAMSHAFT INSTALLATION

Apply oil to camshaft bearing and to bearing bore in
crankcase. Install the camshaft and spring washer into the
crankcase camshaft bore. Hold the valve tappets out of the
way during installation.
NOTE: Make sure the spring washer is in position (Figure
11.12).
Align the timing mark on the camshaft gear with the timing
mark on the crankshaft gear (Figure 11.11). The piston must
be at top dead center (TDC).
NOTE: For installation of the oil pump, oil pickup and
crankcase cover, see Section 12; "LUBRICATION."
