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.
