Before I toss my Clymer's, as I was getting ready to install the PTO and Flywheel after an 587 cc engine rebuild, Clymer states that "whenever the crankcase is disassembled, the rotary valve must be checked for clearance."
Well, since I rebuilt the entire engine it should be evident that the crankcase was disassembled, however, I did not touch the Rotary Valve. (I should have purchased a Kawi because they don't have this additional part)
Did I screw up and will I have to disassemble again to perform that task, or can I just move on to the Rotary Valve timing?
With respect to accomplish the Rotary Valve timing, I am a tad confused.
It appears I need to use a degree wheel to accomplish that task, however, the process confuses me.
After I accomplish the markings, do I merely place the the left edge of the RV to that marking? It seems simple, but I want to be sure I am doign this right.
Finally, do I need a PTO flywheel impeller tool to attach the PTO. I presume I do because the manual states the PTO must be torqued, however, is there an alternative way to accomplish the task? Just trying to save a buck, however, I want the task done correctly.
Darn, I should have bought one a few weeks ago when I started this project, thus saving time now that the task is almost accomplished.
It looks like I am an hour so so away from finishing this project, so I will appreciate any and all advice.
