Assembly.
21 From shim steel 0.10 mm thick, cut a strip 200 mm long and 10 mm wide.
22 To fit the sealing shells (see Pl. 14) :
a) Fit the upper shell (13) on the cylinder block and the lower shell (14) on the bearing cap (smear the bearing
faces of the shells with Festinol). Insert the fixing screws (40) without tightening them.
b) Make sure that the upper bearings (in the crankcase) are clean.
Oil the journals with an oil-can. Place the shim steel strip (prepared in paragraph 21) round the crankshaft
oil thrower (see Pl. 14, fig. 1) and mount the crankshaft in its bearings.
With the lower bearing in position in the front bearing cap, fit the bearing cap. Guide the thrust washer (8)
(see Pl. 1) during this operation.
Tighten the assembly screws (11) of the half shells. Tighten the bearing cap fixing screws to 72 ft/lbs
(10 m. kg) (torsion spanner 2471-T, see Pl. 7, fig. 2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8 mm box spanner
