5. Repeat the above steps for the remaining
cylinder. Do not interchange parts from the
cylinder heads.
6. Rotate the crankshaft to check for free operation
of the valve train. Check the clearance between
the valve spring coils at full lift. Minimum
allowable clearance is 0.25 mm (0.010 in.).
Check Assembly
Important: Rotate the crankshaft a minimum of two
revolutions to check longblock assembly and overall
proper operation.
Install Spark Plugs
1. Use new Champion
®
(or equivalent) spark plugs.
2. Set the gap at 0.76 mm (0.030 in.).
Figure 11-44. Installing Spark Plugs.
Install Ignition Modules
1. Rotate the flywheel to position the magnet away
from the ignition module bosses.
Figure 11-45. Installing Ignition Modules.
2. On engines equipped with SMART-SPARK
™,
both
modules are installed the same way – with the
two tabs out. See Figure 11-46 and 11-52.
On engines not equipped with SMART-SPARK
™
the modules are installed with the spark plug
lead wire from module always away from the
cylinder. On #1 cylinder, the single kill tab should
be towards you. See Figure 11-45. On #2 cylinder,
the single kill tab should be away from you (in).
3. Install each ignition module to the crankcase
bosses with the two screws (hex flange or allen
head, based on model). Slide the modules up as
far away from the flywheel as possible and snug
the screws to hold them in that position.

4. Use a spanner wrench or rocker arm lifting tool
(see Section 2), to lift the rocker arms and
position the push rods underneath. See Figure
11-43.
3. Install new plugs and torque to 24.4-29.8 N·m
(18-22 ft. lb.). See Figure 11-44.
