OIL
SEALS
The bearing plate must be removed to replace its oil
seal.
Drive the oil seal out from the inside using
bearing plate driver and gear cover driver. •
Before installing the seals, fill the space between
seals with a fibrous grease or stiff cup grease. This will
improve sealing. See Figure 63.
When installing the gear cover oil
seal,
tap the seal
inward until it is 11/32 of an inch from the mounting
face of the cover.Mnstall new style, thin open face
seal,
1-7/64
inches from mounting face of cover.
When installing the bearing plate oil
seal,
tap the seal
into the bearing plate bore to bottom against the
shoulder in the plate bore: Use a seal expander, or
place a piece of shim stock around the end of the
crankshaft, when replacing the bearing plate to avoid
damaging the
seal.
Remove the shim stock as soon as
the plate is in place.
Engines equipped with some types of reduction gear
assemblies do not use the rear oil
seal.
The reduction
gear assembly is oiled directly from the engine
crankcase. Referto the instructions screened on the
case of the reduction gear assembly.
CYLINDER
The cylinder wears very little in normal service. If,
through improper lubrication or accident, the
cylinder wall should become scored or worn badly,
the cylinder may be rebored and honed to accom-
modate a new piston and ring set of the available
oversizes. Pistons are available in .005", .010", .020",
.030"
and .040" oversize. Piston rings are available in
:010",
'.020", .030" and .040" oversize. Use standard
size rings on a .005" oversize piston. If the cylinder is
not being installed, remove any ridge which may have
become formed at the top of piston ring travel in the
cylinder bore. Engine might be fitted at the factory
with a .005" oversize piston and are so indicated by a
letter E following the engine serial number stamped
on the cylinder block and on the unit nameplate.
The standard cylinder bore size appears in
Dimensions and Clearances.
OIL
PUMP
To remove the oil pump, it is necessary to detach the
intake cup assembly as shown in Figure 64.
Check the oil pump thoroughly for worn parts. Oil the
pump to prime it before reinstalling. Except for
gaskets, the component parts of the pump are not
available individually. The suction cup is available
separately. Install a new pump assembly, if required.
