Gylinder Head Cover lnstallation
1. Thoroughly clean the head cover gasket and the
groove.
2. Installthe head cover gasket (A) in the groove of
the cylinder head cover (B).
Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry.
Apply liquid gasket. P/N 08718-0009, on the chain

Connecting Rod and Crankshaft End Play Inspection
1.Remove the oil pump (see page 8-9).
Remove the baffle plates (see step 6 on page 1 -12).
3. Measure the connecting rod end play with a feeler
gauge between the connecting rod and crankshaft.
Connecting Rod End Play
Standard {New): 0.15 0.30 mm(0.006-0.012 in.l
Service Limit 0.40 mm (0.016 in.l
4.lf the connecting rod end play is out-of-tolerance,
install a new connecting rod, and recheck. lf it is
still out-of-tolerance, replace the crankshaft (see
page 7 -12],.
5. lnstall a dial indicator as shown. Push the
crankshaft firmly away from the dial indicator, and
zero the dial against the end of the crankshaft. Then
pull the crankshaft firmly back toward the indicator;
the dial reading should not exceed the service limit.
Crankshaft End Plav
Standard lNew): 0.10-0.35 mm
{0.004-0.014 in.l
Service Limit: 0.45 mm {0.018 in.)
lf the end play is out-of-tolerance, replace the thrust
washers and recheck. lf it is still out-of-tolerance,
replace the crankshaft.

3. Use the crank bore codes and crank journal codes
to select the appropriate replacement bearings
from the following table.
NOTE:. Color code is on the edge of the bearing.. When using bearing halves of different colors. it
does not matter which color is used in the top or
bottom.
