lnstallation
Installthe cylinder head in the reverse order of removal:
NOTE:
. Always use a new head and manifold gasket.
. The cylinder head gasket is a metal gasket Take care
not to bend it.
. Rotate the crankshaft, set the No. 1 piston at TDC
(page 6-51).
. Do not use the middle cover and lower cover for
storing items disassembled.
. Clean the middle cover and lower cover before instal-
lation.
