Refitting The Timing Chain - VESPA ET4 50 Workshop Manual

Engine
- Finish the head tightening following the proce-
dure below: screw the four head nuts to an initial
torque at two crossed passes. Afterwards tighten
the nuts with 2 turns of 90° each to be done at two
crossed passes.
-Finish the tightening of the head to the crankcase
with the 2 side screws.
N.B.
SHOULD THE CRANKCASE OR THE CYLINDER STUD
BOLTS BE REPLACED, IT IS NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT
AN INITIAL TIGHTENING PLUS OTHER 3 TURNS OF 90°
EACH AT 3 CROSSED PASSES
