WARNING!

Do not re-use any fasteners that are worn or
deformed in normal use.
Some fasteners are designed to be used only
once, and are unreliable and may fail if used
a second time. This includes, but is not
limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, circlips and
cotter pins. Always follow the
recommendations in this manual-replace
these fasteners with new parts where
indicated, and any other time it is deemed
necessary by inspection.

CAUTION!
If large quantities of metal particles or other
deposits (caused, for example, by partial
seizure of the crankshaft or connecting rod
bearings) are found in the engine oil, the oil
passages must be cleaned thoroughly and
the oil cooler replaced in order to prevent
further damage from re-occurring.
Do not overfill with oil past the MAX mark on
