(6) Check the crankshaft end play.
(7) Apply sealant to outside surface of side seals. Press the side seals into the front and rear caps.
(Insure the radius ends are installed first and the radius faces towards the outside of the block.)
This completes the reassembly of the crankshaft.
On the W13 insert the crankshaft into the
crankcase. Apply engine oil to the main bearings
and crankshaft journals. Be careful not to damage
the main bearings. Install the bearing housing with
the tongue of the inside thrust bearing properly
fitted in a notch in the bearing housing.
CAUTION: THRUST BEARINGS, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, ARE IDENTICAL. HOWEVER,
BEFORE INSTALLATION, MEASURE THEIR THICKNESS TO CONFIRM THEIR BEING WITHIN
THE STANDARD SIZE. FROM THIS THE CRANKSHAFT END PLAY CAN BE SPECIFIED.
Install the outside thrust bearing in the bearing bore in the bearing housing, then install the
stopper plate, crankshaft gear and sleeve. Install the stopper plate with the chamfered side
directed toward the rear of the engine. Install the crankshaft gear with the stepped side directed
toward the rear of the engine. Also install the sleeve with the chamfered square end toward the
front of the engine.
(8) Insert the oil seal into the crankshaft rear oil seal case. Install the seal case to the cylinder block.
Remember to install the gasket.
