5.
Install the front cros smember. Refer to Operat
ion 76.10.05.
6. Install the undert ray. Refer to Operation 76.22.90.
7. Install both front wheel and tyre assemblies. Refer to
Operation 74.20.05.
8. Install the timing cover and al l associated components, as
detailed in Operation 12.65.01.
9. Install the twin fan and motor assembly. Refer to Operation
26.25.12.
10. NOTE: When the engine is star ted from cold and run for a
short period only, before being swit ched off, a quantity of oil will
be 'hung up' within the engine because it is not up to operating
temperature.
Should the oil level subsequently be topped-up, the level could
become too high, causing oil burning.
Typically, 0.875 L is hung up.
Refill the engine with the correct specification engine oil.
11. Connect the battery and in stall the battery cover.
Refe
r to the Battery Reconnection Procedure 86.15.15.
12. Check the oil level and start th e engine. Check for leaks and
that the engine runs correctly.
13. Install the engine compartmen t cover. Refer to operation
76.16.01.
14. Remove the paintwork protection sheets and close the engine

Instal
l the crankshaft locking tool to the damper.
1. Install adaptor 303-191-02 to the main locking tool 303-191.
2. Reposition the cranks haft/damper to align the
mounting holes and install the locking tool to the
damper using the bolts provided with the tool.
3. Loosen, but do not remove the damper securing bolt
from the crankshaft.
6. Remove the locking tool from the damper.
