3-56 DISASSEMBLY, REASSEMBLY, INSPECTION, AND MAINTENANCE
Crankshaft
For example, on the FE350, if measurement [A] is 15.87 mm and
measurement [B] is 17.66 mm, the correct shim thickness is t = 1.53
mm.

Reassembly
The reassembly is the reverse order of disassembly.
•
Clean the mating surfaces of the crankcase and the crankcase cover
of any residues and install a new gasket.
•
Apply high-temperature grease to the lip of the crankcase oil seal.
(Refer to the section on Oil Seal.) Apply oil to the journals of each
part.
•
On the FE221 ~ 400 with a reciprocal movement balancer, install the
reciprocal movement balancer parts on the crankshaft. (Refer to the
section on Balancer.)
•
Install the crankshaft in the crankcase, making sure not to damage the
oil seal lip with the key groove at the tapered area of the crankshaft.
