DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (CONTINUED)
E5893 EN 09/2001 2002 Bantam
Valve tappets & adjusting shims
The camshaft operates the valves directly via the
valve tappets.
CAUTION: When installing adjustment
shims, the writing must face the tappet.
Adjustment shims are available for setting the
valve clearances. The thickness of each shim is
marked on one face.
Cylinder head
Item
Description
1 Guide dowel holes
2 Gasket thickness indicator
The cylinder head gasket is available in three
thicknesses. A particular piston protrusion
requires a certain thickness of gasket and this is
determined by the number of notches on the
gasket thickness indicator.
Crankshaft oil seals
NOTE: The crankshaft rear oil seal is supplied
complete with the oil seal carrier. It must be fitted
using the tool shown.
CAUTION: Removing the support ring too
early will cause the oil seal to shrink
thereby making it unusable.
Both the front and rear oil seals are made from
PTFE and therefore must be fitted dry.
When supplied as a service parts, both oil seals
have a support ring, which should only be
removed after fitting. Some support rings may
drop out of their own accord after an oil seal has
been fitted.
Crankcase ventilation
The crankcase ventilation valve is on the upper
surface of the valve cover. Like all crankcase
ventilation components, the valve must always be
kept clean to ensure optimal engine operation.
