Cylinder Base Gasket
Install new base gasket.
NOTE: The general procedure is to install a new
gasket of the same thickness. However, if you
do not know the gasket thickness that was in-
stalled or if a crankshaft and/or crankcase repair
or replacement was involved, refer to the COM-
BUSTION CHAMBER VOLUME MEASUREMENT
to properly determine the required gasket thick-
ness.
Five thicknesses of cylinder base gaskets are avail-
able for a precise adjustment of the squish gap.
To identify gasket thickness, refer to the identifi-
cation holes on the gasket.
