Install the pilot bearing spacer into the rear of the crankshaft with the spacer lip oriented outward.
NOTE: A small amount of clean Lubriplate™ 105 multi-purpose lubricant, or its equivalent, can be used to help keep the pilot bearing spacer in position until the flywheel is assembled.
The flywheel mounting capscrews must be a minimum of SAE Grade 8 with rolled threads. Use identical replacements to avoid possible flywheel failure resulting in personal injury or property damage.
Lubricate the threads and underneath the heads of the capscrews with clean 15W-40 oil. Allow the excess oil to drip off the parts. Do not lubricate the threads of the crankshaft.
