Install Flywheel Side Oil Seal

1. Lubricate the outside diameter and lip of the
flywheel end oil seal. Support the closure plate
and install the oil seal. Using a seal driver, drive
the seal to a depth of 5 mm (0.196 in.) in the seal
bore. See Figure 10-33.

Install Closure Plate Gasket, Closure
Plate, and Wiring Harness
NOTE: The special gasket used between the closure
plate and crankcase controls crankshaft
endplay, no shimming is required. Do not
use RTV sealant in place of the gasket.
1. Make sure the sealing surfaces of crankcase and
closure plate are clean, dry, and free of any nicks
or burrs. Install a new closure plate gasket onto
the crankcase.
NOTE: Engines with Guide Shoe Design
Balance Weight: Apply grease to the
outside flat surfaces of the balance
weight guide shoe. Position the guide
shoe so the solid end is toward the
crankshaft. See Figure 10-33. Keep the
guide shoe stays in this position during
the next step.
2. Ensure the gasket, cover plate, and governor gear
assembly, have been properly assembled to the
closure plate (refer to Section 9). Start the closure
plate onto the crankcase. Be sure the guide shoe
(applicable models), is aligned with the guide
channel in the closure plate, and the cam shafts
and governor gear shaft are aligned with their
mating bearing surfaces. See Figure 10-34. As
the closure plate is lowered into final position,
rotate the crankshaft slightly to help engage the
governor gear.

3. Install the fourteen hex flange screws securing
the closure plate to the crankcase, with any
clamps for the wiring harness and the sheathed
RFI suppression spark plug lead (#5 location, if so
equipped), positioned as shown in Figure
10-35. If the wiring harness was separated from
the closure plate, route the harness through the
clamps and the slot in the closure plate. Close the
clamps to retain the harness.
