I've been working on the technical part of my new gallery for the past couple of days and remembered that I had made some pictures detailing the assembly of the front cover parts about 2 1/2 years ago. Well, needless to say, they're on the gallery now. This is for those of you guys that get confused by the shop manual's description or are just unsure exactly how to do this job...

good info. I always check for end play before i put the timing cover on.. very helpful info with pics.

 

Yep I sometimes tend to forget but that's the proper way to do it, especially if any hardparts have been replaced during assembly.



Anybody else found the factory manual to be a bit deficient here?

that is amazingly helpful. and yes the manual sucks.

Thanks, Teknics. It really loused me up the first couple of times I tried using it many years ago. I remember thinking then that I wanted to document the proper procedure.

Just for reference as stated to always check the end play but you must do this with the parts un lubed and if the items check out ok tear down and reassembly with lube.

 

volume!!!!!!!!!

 

Yep, stacking the items up in a step prior to doing the actual assembly. It's also a good and quick way to see if there's a problem w/ the stack itself. Ever had something keep the crank from turning while doing the front cover assy?

???Elaborate please???

 

B,



GREAT info!



Quick question though, what would happen if the cas gear sporcket is fitted with the beveled part towards the fron cover instead of the iron?



I can't remember if "overlooked" this
