Install Closure Plate to Crankcase
RTV silicone sealant is used as a gasket between the
closure plate and crankcase. Refer to page 2.3 for a
listing of approved sealants that may be used.
NOTE: Always use fresh sealant. Using
outdated sealant can result in leakage.
Refer to Section 2 - Tools & Aids for
information on the sealant dispenser.
1. Prepare the sealing surfaces of the crankcase and
closure plate following Service Bulletin 252.
NOTE: Do not scrape the surfaces when
cleaning as this will damage the
surfaces. This could result in leaks. The
use of a gasket removing solvent is
recommended.
2. Apply a 1/16" bead of sealant to the closure plate
as shown in Figure 11-19. Do not spread with
finger.
