torque of 18 Nm (13 ft.lb).
Mount a new seal

Adjust measurement „X“
NOTE:
Measurement „X“ is the distance from the upper piston edge to the
upper cylinder edge, piston set in TDC position and cylinder base
bolts tightened.
Measurement „X“ must be set with special care, adjusting various
thicknesses of cylinder base gaskets.
!
CAUTION
!
IF THE „X“ MEASUREMENT IS TOO LARGE-THIS MEANS THAT A GAP IS VISIBLE
BETWEEN PISTON AND ADJUSTING PLATE
-THE COMPRESSION WILL SINK AND THE
ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER
. IF THE „X“ MEASUREMENT IS TOO SMALL-THIS MEANS
THAT A GAP IS VISIBLE BETWEEN CYLINDER AND ADJUSTING PLATE
-THE ENGINE WILL
PING AND OVERHEAT
.
Place the adjusting plate on the cylinder and set pistons to TDC (see
diagram). If the „X“ measurement is correctly adjusted, the feeler
gauge will lie flush on the pistons and on the cylinder.
Adjust the „X“ measurement by adding or removing cylinder base
gaskets.
NOTE: the „X“ measurement is increased by adding cylinder base
gaskets and decreased by removing cylinder base gaskets.
