5. Inspect and remove markings, scratches, and thread locker residue from the
rotor and crankshaft.
ROTOR INSTALLATION:
1. Use wicking / bearing retainer (green) thread locker on the inside of the rotor,
and on tapered part of crankshaft.
CAUTION:
It is recommended that you apply the proper thread locking primer to the
components that are to receive thread locking material per the manufacturers
instructions.
2. Eyeball the lines on the rotor and stator then press the rotor onto the
crankshaft firmly (figure 18).
3. Torque the nut on the rotor to 40 ft-lb (54 Nm).
4. Recheck the timing following the procedure of timing your ignition.
5. Install the water pump belt back on.
6. Bolt the ignition cover back on.

ES5: Cooling System
The water pump in the engine keeps the radiator fluid in circulation throughout
the motor. The air stream running through the radiator cools the radiator fluid.
Therefore dirty radiators additionally reduce the cooling effect.
Radiator fluid removal:
1. Remove the coolant drain plug (A) on the front of the engine case (figure 20).
