    CAUTION:
    • The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, with diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, if the pulley is loosened, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened. Therefore, the engine must be retimed each time the damper is removed. Otherwise severe engine damage can occur.
    CAUTION:
    • Failure to position the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC) can result in damage to the engine. Turn the engine in the normal direction of rotation only.
  41. Using the crankshaft pulley bolt, turn the crankshaft clockwise to position the No.1 piston at TDC.
