Upper Crankcase Preparation
NOTE: Always replace plain bearings when the
crankcase
or
connecting
disassembled.
Refer
procedures.
1. Remove all traces of crankcase sealer from the
crankcase mating surfaces. Inspect the surfaces
closely for nicks, burrs or damage.
2. Clean bolt hole threads to remove any oil or
crankcase sealant.
3. Inspect crankcase bearing bores. Replace the
crankcase assembly if a bearing bore is galled or if
bearing inserts have rotated in the case.
4. Be sure alignment pins are in place where used.
5. Refer to Engine Oil Flow Chart, page 3.5 at the
beginning of this chapter and trace the oil paths
through the crankcase and cylinder.
6. Flush all oil passages with solvent and then warm
soapy water. Rinse with clear, warm water and dry
with compressed air.
7. Be sure passages are clean and dry before
assembling the upper crankcase.
