8.1 Notes on Reassembly
Observe the following prior to/during reassembly of the engine:
• Clean each part carefully, taking special care with the piston, cylinder,
crankshaft, connecting rod, and bearings.
• Scrape off any carbon deposits on the cylinder head and the piston
head. Be particularly careful when removing carbon from the piston
ring grooves.
• Inspect oil seals for any damage to the lip. Replace them if damaged.
Apply oil to lip before re-assembling.
• Replace all gaskets with new ones.
• Replace keys, pins, bolts and nuts with new ones if necessary.
• Tighten nuts and bolts to the specified torque settings.
• During re-assembly, apply oil to all moving parts.
• Check clearances and end plays. Adjust the clearances as necessary.
• When mounting any major moving part, rotate it with your hand to
check for any jamming or abnormal noise.
