Positioning Rotor Apex for Reassembly

Use care not to drop seal into port.

Installing Eccentric Shaft

Lubricate front rotor journal and main journal on shaft with
engine lubricant. Being careful not to damage rotor and main bearings,
insert eccentric shaft.

Installing Front Rotor Housing

1) As front and rear rotor housings are not interchangeable,
be sure they are installed in correct sequence. Apply sealing agent to
front side of rotor housing. See Fig. 22.

a protector behind each inner sealing rubber. See Fig. 23. Install a
