Crankcase Cover and Cylinder Base Gasket Kits Installation Guide

Tools Needed:

• Socket wrench or ratchet and socket (for removing old gaskets)
• Torx screwdriver (for removing cylinder head screws)
• Pliers (for removing old gaskets)
• New gasket kit (includes crankcase cover gasket and cylinder base gasket)
• Cleaning materials (e.g. compressed air, brake cleaner)
• Rubber sealant (for ensuring proper sealing)
• Measuring tape or calipers (for measuring gasket thickness)

Step 1: Prepare the Area

1. Locate a clean and well-lit workspace to perform the installation.
2. Ensure all necessary tools are within reach.
3. Remove any loose items from the work area to prevent damage or interference.

Step 2: Remove Old Gaskets

2. Use pliers to remove the old cylinder base gasket.
3. Clean the area thoroughly with compressed air and brake cleaner to remove any debris.

Step 3: Inspect and Clean the Surface

1. Inspect the crankcase cover and cylinder base for any signs of damage or wear.
2. Clean the surfaces with compressed air and brake cleaner to ensure a smooth installation.

Step 4: Apply Rubber Sealant

1. Apply a thin layer of rubber sealant to the crankcase cover and cylinder base surfaces.
2. Ensure the sealant is evenly distributed and not excessive.

Step 5: Install New Gaskets

1. Place the new crankcase cover gasket onto the crankcase cover.
2. Place the new cylinder base gasket onto the cylinder base.
3. Ensure the gaskets are properly seated and aligned.

Step 6: Reassemble

1. Reattach the cylinder head using Torx screws.
2. Tighten the screws in a star pattern to ensure even pressure.
3. Reattach the crankcase cover using a socket wrench or ratchet and socket.
4. Tighten the cover in a star pattern to ensure even pressure.

Step 7: Final Check

1. Inspect the installation for any signs of leaks or damage.
2. Start the engine and check for any unusual noises or vibrations.
3. Ensure all connections are secure and tight.
