Reassemble rear end 
 

6.13

 

Refit sliding blades (7) in their slots after lightly smearing with oil and removing any high spots with fine emery 
cloth. Ensure the blades are orientated correctly in their slots.  

6.14

 

Position the bearing seal (21) into position in the coverplate (3) ensuring that the tension spring is facing the rotor. 

6.15

 

Press the outer race of roller bearing (23) into position in the coverplate (3). 

6.16

 

Fit new o-ring (24) into the coverplate groove. If coverplate gasket (45) has been replaced, it is essential that they 
are the same thickness as the originals, otherwise internal clearances will be affected and could cause serious 
damage. Lightly smear the gasket with oil before replacing. 

6.17

 

Place rear coverplate assembly onto cylinder (1) via location dowel and bolt with six screws (30) and with 
coverplate gaskets (45) in place. 

6.18

 

Position the bearing loose flange in place. The whole bearing assembly can be locked onto the shaft with the 
locknut (28). 

6.19

 

When fitting the mechanical seal (20), wipe over the shaft with soapy water to assist the assembly, the seal can 
then be eased onto the shaft and pushed against the locknut. Replacement seal seats should be lubricated for 

easier fitting in the end cap. 

6.20

 

The end cap (5) can now be fitted with the gasket (45) and any appropriate shims. 

6.21

 

Position fan (10) on the shaft, with the set screw. Refit fancowl (11) onto supports with screws (32). 

 

Check that the shaft rotates freely by hand before refitting lubrication system. 
 

6.22 

Reposition support plate (12) complete with oil pump assembly and tighten with clamp screw (34). Refit drive 

 

pulley (48) and timing belt (51). Prime oil pipes before use.
