NOTES
Note 1 - Subtract O.D. of inner part from I.D. of outer part. The lesser
clearance is for up to 3,600 rpm operation, and the greater clearance is
for higher rpm operation. Note 2 - Champion spark plugs or equivalent. Note 3 - Measure just below oil ring groove and at right angles to wrist pin. Note 4 - 1,800 RPM generator sets at .005"/ 007". Note 5 - Measure 1/2" above the bottom of the piston skirt. |
Note 6 - Top and center compression rings. Note 7 - Measure just below oil ring groove and at right angles to wrist pin. Note 8 - Compression ratio depends on which cylinder head is used. Note 9 - The lesser clearance is for a valve that have been ran for a while, and the greater clearance is for a fresh valve job. (As the valve and seat wear into each other, the clearance will be lessened.) Note 10 - The lesser clearance is for up to 3,600 rpm operation, and the greater clearance is for higher rpm or wide open throttle operation. |

NOTES:
Note 1 - Subtract O.D. of inner part from I.D. of outer part. The lesser
clearance is for up to 3,600 rpm operation, and the greater clearance is
for higher rpm operation. Note 2 - Champion spark plugs or equivalent. Note 3 - Measure just below oil ring and at right angles to wrist pin. Note 4 - Measure 1/2" above the bottom of the piston skirt. |
Note 5 - Top and center compression rings. Note 6- The lesser clearance is for a valve that have been ran for a while, and the greater clearance is for a fresh valve job. (As the valve and seat wear into each other, the clearance will be lessened.) Note 7 - The lesser clearance is for up to 3,600 rpm operation, and the greater clearance is for higher rpm or wide open throttle operation. |

Note 1 - Lubricate fastener threads with engine oil.
Note 2 - DO NOT overtorque - DO NOT loosen and retorque the hex nuts on Posi-Lock
connecting rods.
Note 3 - Overtorque 20%, loosen below torque value and retorque to final
torque value. NOTE: Overtorquing rod bolts 20% places stress on the threads
in a NEW aluminum rod. This allows for proper tightness so bolts won't loosen
later. Used rods: Torque to 285 in. lbs. one time only. NEW - Component directly
from stock. USED - Component that was in a running engine.
Note 4 - To prevent rod bolts from loosening, install a split lock washer
on each bolt and then torque them to specs. Posi-Lock (flange) nuts don't
require a lock washer.
Note 5 - Prior to Serial No. 23209832 - 45-55 ft. lb.
Note 6 - Flywheel and crankshaft tapers must be clean and dry.
