Piston Rings
End Gap
2.
1.Using a piston, push a new ring into the cylinder
bore 15 - 20 mm (0.6 0.8 in) from the bottom
Measure the piston ring end-gap with a feeler
ga uge:
. lf the gap is too small, check to see if you have
the proper rings for your engine.
. lf the gap is too large, recheck the cylinder bore
diameter against the wear limits on page 7 '13.

NOTE: Whenever any crankshaft or connecting rod
bearing is replaced, it is necessary after reassembly
to run the engine at idling speed until it reaches
normal operating temperature, then continue to run
it for approximatelY 15 minutes.
10.Clean and dry the right side cover mating surfaces.
Apply liquid gasket, part No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718
- 0003, evenly to the block mating surface of the
right side cover and to the inner threads of the bolt
holes. Install it on the cylind€r block

NOTE:
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or more
have elapsed since applying the liquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing the
old residue.
. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before
filling the engine with oil.

Some filters have eight numbers (1 to 8) printed on
the surface of the filter.
The following explains the procedure for tightening
filters using these numbers.
l) Make a mark on the cylinder block under the num-
ber that shows at the bottom of the filter when the
rubber seal is seated.
2) Tighten the filter by turning it clockwise seven
numbers from the makes point. For example, if a
mark is made under the number 2 when the rub-
ber seal is seated, the filter should be tightened
until the number 1 comes up to the marked point.

5.After installation. fill the engine with oil up to the
specified level, run the engine for more than threeminutes, then check for oil leakage and oil level.
GAUTION: Installation using other than the aboveprocedure could result in serious engine damage
due to oil leakage.
