Striking rod End Play

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

When adjusting striking rod end play, select adjusting shim (1) for striking rod (2). To select adjusting shim, measure clearance between transaxle case (3) and striking rod shim (4). Refer to "STRIKING ROD ADJUSTING SHIM ".
CAUTION: Only 1 adjusting shim can be selected.
Calculate dimension "R" (thickness of adjusting shim) using the following procedure to satisfy specification of end play for striking rod.

End play : Refer to "STRIKING ROD ADJUSTING SHIM ".

Dimension "R" = (R1 - R2) - End play

R : Thickness of adjusting shim

R1 : Distance between transaxle case end face and mounting face of adjusting shim

R2 : Distance between clutch housing end face and end face of striking rod shim

Using a depth micrometer (A) and straightedge (B), measure dimension "R1 " between transaxle case (1) end face and mounting face of adjusting shim.
CAUTION: "R1 " : Measure at 4 point by approximately 90 degrees and use the average value.

Using a depth micrometer (A) and straightedge (B) as shown in the figure, measure dimension "R2 " between clutch housing (1) end face and end face of striking rod shim (2).
CAUTION:
- "R2 " : Measure at 4 point by approximately 90 degrees and use the average value.
- When measuring, be careful for the inclination of striking rod assembly and striking rod shim.
Install selected striking rod adjusting shim onto striking rod assembly.
