Inspection
Inspect the oil seal in the closure plate and remove it if
it is worn or damaged. The new oil seal is installed
after the closure plate is assembled to the crankcase.
See ‘‘Install Closure Plate Oil Seal’’ in Section 11.

Figure 10-12. Piston Ring Installation.
1. Oil Control Ring (Bottom Groove): Install the
expander and then the rails. Make sure the ends
of expander are not overlapped.
2. Second Compression Ring (Center Groove):
Install the center ring using a piston ring
installation tool. Make sure the "pip" mark is up.
3. First Compression Ring (Top Groove): Install the
top ring using a piston ring installation tool. If no
"identification" mark exists to denote "up" the
ring is symmetrical and may be installed with
either side up.
Connecting Rods
Offset Stepped-Cap Connecting Rods are used in all
these engines.
Inspect main bearing (if so equipped) for wear or
damage (refer to Section 1, ‘‘Specifications, Tolerances,
and Special Torque Values’’). Replace closure plate
assembly if required.
Governor Assembly (Internal)
Inspection
Inspect the governor gear teeth. Replace the gear if it
is worn, chipped, or if any teeth are missing.
Inspect the governor weights. They should move
freely in the governor gear.
Disassembly
The governor gear must be replaced once it is
removed from the closure plate.
NOTE: The governor gear is held onto the shaft by
small molded tabs in the gear. When the gear
is removed from the shaft, these tabs are
destroyed and the gear must be replaced.
Therefore, remove the gear only if absolutely
necessary.
1. Remove the regulating pin and governor gear
assembly. See Figure 10-13.
Inspection and Service
Check bearing area (big end) for excessive wear,
score marks, running and side clearances (refer to
Section 1, ‘‘Specifications, Tolerances, and Special
Torque Values’’). Replace rod and cap if scored or
excessively worn.
