NOTES
● Depending on the type of crowsfoot being used to torque
the oil lines it may be necessary to remove the oil filter in
order to properly torque certain oil line fittings.
● See Figure 3-47. It is important to maintain an orientation
of approximately 2 o’clock with the rigid part of the feed
oil line running to the oil cooler. Also be aware of the 1/8-
1/4 (3.175-6.35 mm) clearance specified between the
feed oil line and the clutch cable at the front of the crank-
case.
● When tightening the oil cooler feed and return lines to oil
cooler, verify that the lines do not twist while tightening.
● If any oil line fittings are found to be loose, or not oriented
in the proper position, those fittings must be removed
and thoroughly cleaned. After cleaning, apply LOCTITE
565 Sealant to the fitting and re-install to the correct ori-
entation. When tightening oil lines, always support the oil
line fitting with a wrench to maintain proper orientation
and prevent damage to the oil line fitting.
