Timing Gear Train Installation
Apply a light coat of clean engine oil to all parts
before assembly.
Do NOT overtighten the mounting flange
fasteners when installing any of the gears in the
timing gear train. Overtightening the fasteners
can cause stripped threads in the cylinder block.
1. Assemble a new O-ring on the crankshaft
rear hub.
2. Apply a film of engine oil to the O-ring and
assemble the crankshaft gear on the
crankshaft hub. Install two Allen-head bolts
through the crankshaft gear and tighten to
specification.
Leave two fasteners loose enough to aid in
turning the crankshaft with a lever for gear
alignment purposes.
