ReconRat Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Keep a shop vac nearby, to pick up the old gasket pieces. Rags to keep stuff falling down in where you can't get at it. Something always gets in. Drain it out with the oil. If you turn the engine sideways, stuff falls off, not in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmuckingham Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 You are lubing the bearings on install right? Also using some cam lube on the crank bearings works geat for startup.When it times to start it kill the ignition and turn it over until it builds oil pressure thank hook the ignition back up.

phugitive Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 This is what I would do:1. The circlip or 1/2 ring centered but not really that important as long as it is there and yes it is short but you can look at both ends for signs of breakage or wear.2. Start with fingers, move to putty knife, finish with utility knife blade. When using the blade or a sharp putty knife, lay it almost flat against surface and work it side to side but do not scratch the surface. Wipe surface with brake cleaner,carb cleaner,simple green,mineral spirits, anything that will clean the oil off. I usually go straight to the utility blade.3. Leave the gas off or out of your tank till you turn it over a few times. This is just a trans repair the engine is already broke in you don't need oil in the cylinders but a small amount won't hurt anything. As far as assembly lube I would use motor oil ( doesn't matter what kind thicker may be better ) other additives may mix with your oil and get on your clutch plates.4. When you do start it up, let it idle, keep an eye on the oil light in should go out in 3-5 seconds. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
