Align the projections of the crankshaft journal
lower bearings with the notches in the lower
crankcase.

Use an angle torgue gauge

and tighten
at the correct angle.
S
If an angle torque gauge is not available, do
not tighten at an angle because accurate
tightening cannot be expected.
Thightening in this case should be con-
trolled by torgue and final tightening
should be to 41 Nm (4.1 m

Lubricate the crankcase bolt threads with en-
gine oil.
g. Remove the lower crankcase and the crank-
