The Cam Plug was installed and Form-A-Gasket #3 was applied on it and all mating surfaces of the case halves. Then the two case halves were assembled. The six large elastic stop nuts were fastened to the six large studs and torqued per the manual instructions to 15 foot-pounds. The crankshaft was check for free movement. No problems were detected. Then the six nuts were re-torqued to 25 ft-lbs.
The remaining studs were fastened with washers and stop nuts as described in the manual. Had to go to Lo Removed piston rings and measured between the ends of the rings for each cylinder making sure the gap was at least 0.012 and less than 0.022. Reinstalled each piston in each cylinder with care to get them back in their appropriate cylinder. Slid the piston and cylinder into place on the crank case, brought to Top Dead Center and measured the deck height. Referred to the 8.0:1 Compression chart on page 21 and determined that a single 0.06 shim is what was needed. Located the shims and placed them temporarily on each cylinder.
