Install the timing belt (see page 6-12).
Adjust the valve clearance (see page 6-3).
lnstall the rubber seal in the groove of the cylinderhead cover. Seat the seal in the recesses for thecamshaft first, then work it into the groove aroundthe outside edges.
NOTE:
. Before installing the rubber seal, thoroughlyclean the seal and the groove.
. When installing, make sure the seal is seatedsecurely in the corners of the recesses with nogap.
RUEBER SEAL
18.Apply liquid gasket to the rubber seal at the eightcorners of the recesses.
NOTE:
. Use liquid gasket, Part No. 08718 - OO01 or 08718- 0003.
. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and drybefore applying liquid gasket.. Do not installthe parts if 5 minutes or more naveelapsed since applying liquid gasket. Instead,reapply liquid gasket after removing old residue.. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes beforefilling the engine with oil.
Apply liquid gasket tothe shaded areas.

Installation
Bl881, 818C1 enginos:
lf the crankshaft is already installed
'1. Set the crankshaft to BDC for each cylinder.
2, Remove the connecting rod caps, and slip short sec-
tions of rubber hose over the threaded ends of the
connecting rod bolts.
3. Install the ring compressor, and check that the bear-
ing is securely in place.
4. Position the arrow facing the timing belt side of the
eng ine.
The arrow must facethe timing belt sideot the engine. Theconnecting rod oil holemust face the intakemanjfold (81881 engine).

Position the piston in the cylinder. and tap it in
using the wooden handle of a hammer.
NOTE; Maintain downward force on the ring com-pressor to prevent rings from expanding before
entering the cylinder bore.
6. Stop after the ring compfessor pops free, and check
the connecting rod-to-crank journal alignment
betore pushing piston in to place,
7.Check the connecting rod bearing clearance withplastigage {see page 7-9).
Apply engine oil to the bolt threads. then install the
