MACHINING OF FLYWHEEL
1 Flywheel
Machining of Flywheel Notice Flywheels which have scorch marks, scoring or cracks in the clutch surface should be machined by grinding orprecision-turning. If the scores or cracks are severe thanpermissible specifications, replace the flywheel.
When machining the clutch surface ‘A’, the mounting
surface (B) for the clutch pressure plate should also be machined in accordance with ‘A’ to keep the distance ‘a’.
Do not machine under ‘b’ value.
When machining, fix the flywheel exactly not to exceed the standard runout.

Replacement Procedure
1. Drill a hole into the ring gear (1) (arrow) and snap
with a chisel.
2. Thoroughly clean the collar surfaces of ring gear.
3. Measure diameter (a) of centering collar.
Notice If out of standard, replace the flywheel.
4. Heat up the new ring gear up to 220 °C by using a
heating device. Notice Use temperature measuring chalk.
5. Install the new ring gear (1) onto the flywheel by using a drift.

6. Measure axial runout of ring gear (1) on a surface plate.
LimitMax. 0.4mm
Notice For correct measurement, put the flywheel on the flat measuring board.

CheckingNotice The noise which continues short time during short travel (frequent starting of the engine) or engine starting after a long time storage is normal operating conditions. So, it doesnot need to be repaired. Determine the malfunctions in valveclearance compensation device with noise through following
tests. If defective, replace as respectively.
1. Run the engine at more than 3000rpm for approx. 4 minutes.
2. Stop the engine. After 5minutes, check the engine oil level and adjust if necessary.
3. Remove the cylinder head cover.
4. Check the valve tappets at TDC position of each cylinders.
5. Using a drift, lightly press the valve tappet and measure clearance between the cam and valve tappet. Notice If the clearance exceeds 0.4mm, replace the valve tappet.
6. If a valve tappet moves down too far in comparison to the others, replace the valve tappet.
7. Rotate the engine and check the remaining valve tappets.
Notice
Unnecessary rotation of the engine will damage the valve tappets.
Do not rotate the engine by using the camshaft sprocket bolt or to the opposite direction of the engine rotation.
