Before reassembling the engine, a series of im
-
portant controls must be carried out to ensure
correct functioning of the engine. The bearings
must be replaced if they play or get jammed
during rotation. It is however recommended to
refer to the periodical maintenance table.
In order to insert the bearings in the crankcase
halves, bring the crankcase halves to a tempe
-
rature of 150°C and keep them at that tempe
-
rature for 20 minutes.
Place the crankcase halves on a large surface
where their whole seal surface can rest. When
the bearings cool off, they drop into their seats
on their own.
