Crankcase Assembly
Before fitting the left case on the right case, note the fol-
lowing:
Chip off the old gasket from the mating surfaces of the
crankcase halves, and clean off the crankcase with a high
flash-point solvent. After cleaning, apply transmission oil
to the transmission gears, shift drum, shift forks and so
on.
Be sure to replace any oil seal removed with a new one.
Press in the new oil seal using a press and suitable tools
so that the seal surface is flush with the surface of the
crankcase.
As for the crankshaft oil seal [A], on the right crankcase
half [B] press in the seal until it is bottomed.
Apply high temperature grease to the oil seal lips.
Press in the ball bearings using the bearing driver set until
the bearing is bottomed.
