the cylinder cover.
⇒ Fit new O-rings in the valve cage and valve seat and oil them slightly.
⇒ Fit the complete exhaust valve suspended on RUD-eye bolt ’RC’, taking care
not to damage the threads of the waisted studs (Fig. ’E’).
D The correct position of the exhaust valve cage is determined by the cylindrical
pin set in the cylinder cover.

⇒ Fit nuts 2 and tighten them firmly with round bar ’RS’.
Check seating of nuts 2 with a feeler gauge.
