Step 10: Begin preassembly of the front cover [1]. Start by inserting the bronze magneto bushing [13]
into its hole inside the cover.

Step 11: Thread the four M8X1.25x50mm double ended studs into the holes around the water pump
interface with the shorter section of thread going into the cover.
Step 12: Set all o-rings in their grooves in the cover (note: you may choose to apply some grease to
help keep the o-rings in place during assembly.) The o-ring rope [21] is used along the perimeter of
the cover and is intended to be trimmed to fit. The smallest diameter o-rings [19] are used to block the
lower oil passages. The 1 3/16” ID O-rings [20] install in the round O-ring grooves around the water
passages and 1 7/16” ID O-rings [18] install in the rectangular O-ring grooves around the water
passages.
Step 13: Install the preassembled cover onto the engine block using seven M8X1.25x30mm flat
countersunk socket head cap screws [25], three M8X1.25x20mm flat countersunk socket head cap
screws [29], two M8X1.25x30mm socket head cap screws [26], and two M8X1.25x25mm socket head
cap screws [33]. Torque these bolts to 27 ft-lbs.
