ENGINE ASSEMBLY
WARNING - In case of incorrect sealing, the following operating failures may occur:
Air seepage causing a leaner mixture and possible engine seizure.
Oil leak from gearbox area to crankshaft area; this may lead to a fast consumption of lubricant causing gearbox overheating and
seizure.
When closing the crankcase halves, check that they are perfectly aligned and correctly positioned.
Make sure that the crankshaft and the gear shafts can rotate freely (in neutral).
Should these shafts not rotate correctly, tap them with a rubber hammer to allow their correct settling.
Should this problem still occur, open the crankcase halves again.
After closing the crankcase halves, block off the cylinder seat with a clean cloth to prevent accidental any dirt or foreign matter from
entering the crankshaft area.
