1. Remove the cylinder head. (Do not attempt to remove the
cylinder head gasket.)
2. Move the piston up and stick a strip of fuse [1.5 mm dia. (0.059
in. dia.), 5 to 7 mm long (0.197 to 0.276 in. long)] on the piston
head at three positions with grease so as to avoid the intake and
exhaust valves and the combustion chamber ports.
3. Lower the piston, and install the cylinder head and tighten the
cylinder head screws to the specified torque.
4. Turn the flywheel until the piston passes top dead center.
5. Remove the cylinder head, and measure the thickness of the
squeezed fuses.

the oil clearance between the crankpin and crankpin bearing and
between the piston pin and small end bushing.

• After checking the top clearance, be sure to assemble the
cylinder head with a new cylinder head gasket.
