NOTE:FOR IMPROVED COOLING OF THE ENGINE OIL THE FRONT PIPE OF THE FRAME IS
INTEGRATED INTO THE OIL CIRCUIT

Clean all 3 plugs thoroughly with a fireproof solvent and compressed air, in
order to remove the metal abrasion. After all the oil has drained through,
clean sealing areas and install plugs with gaskets. Tighten plug

engine, and mount plug together with the gasket.
