NOTE:
• Crankcase bolts 1–F can be reused 5
times.
• Do not turn the crankshaft until the crank-
shaft journal oil clearance measurement
has been completed.
• Tighten the M8 bolts 1–8 and M10 bolts
9–F to the specified torques in 2 stages.
In the 2nd stage, make a mark b on the
crankcase and crankcase bolts, and then
tighten crankcase bolts 1–F 90° from the
mark.
• After tightening the bolts 1–F has been
completed, tighten the M8 bolts G–S to
the specified torques in 2 stages.
