Kohler Command Pro EFI ECH940 Service Manual page 83

NOTE: Make sure engine is assembled using all
specifi ed torque values, torque sequences, and
clearances. Failure to observe specifi cations
could cause severe engine wear or damage.
Always use new gaskets. Apply a small amount
of oil to threads of critical fasteners before
assembly, unless a sealant or Loctite
specifi ed or preapplied.
Make sure all traces of any cleaner are removed before
engine is assembled and placed into operation. Even
small amounts of these cleaners can quickly break down
lubricating properties of engine oil.
Check closure plate, crankcase, cylinder heads, and
valve covers to be certain all old gasket material has
been removed. Use gasket remover, lacquer thinner, or
paint remover to remove any remaining traces. Clean
surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, acetone, lacquer thinner,
or electrical contact cleaner.
Install Flywheel End Oil Seal
1. Make sure seal bore of crankcase is clean and free
of any nicks or burrs.
2. Apply a light coat of clean engine oil to outside
diameter of oil seal.
3. Install oil seal into crankcase using a seal driver.
Make sure oil seal is installed straight and true in
bore and tool bottoms against crankcase.
Install Lifter Feed Chamber Gasket and Cover
1. Install lifter feed chamber gasket, followed by lifter
feed cover over lifter feed chamber.
2. Install 3 screws. Make sure all parts are properly
aligned. Torque screws to 7.7 N·m (68 in. lb.).
Install Crankshaft Bearing (fl ywheel)
If bearing was removed in servicing, install a new
bearing using an arbor press and driver.
1. Make sure crankcase bore for bearing is clean, dry
and free of nicks or burrs.
2. Press fl ywheel side main bearing in place with notch
oriented in 12 o'clock position using an arbor press
and driver. Make sure bearing is fully seated against

4. Attach governor yoke to cross shaft so curved
section is up as marked. Secure with 2 screws. If a
thread locking compound is not preapplied, apply a
small amount of Loctite
equivalent, to screw threads before installing. Torque
screws to 2.2 N·m (20 in. lb.).
5. Install fi rst regulating pin with head down so it will
contact yoke. Install governor gear with second
