Specification Highlights & Service Data
Relying on accurate data is critical for any successful rebuild. This manual outlines exact factory measurements, noting a 40.0 mm cylinder bore and a 39.7 mm stroke. You will find strict operational tolerances, such as a crankshaft assembly width of 37.990 to 37.995 mm, alongside ignition timing dialed in at 1.8 +/- 0.15 mm B.T.D.C. It also details essential fluid capacities, including the 3.5-liter fuel tank and the 700cc total transmission oil requirement.
When securing components, referencing the correct fastener values—like the 7.0 m-kg torque for the rear axle nut—prevents costly hardware damage. Always verify torque specs and safety procedures against the complete OEM documentation prior to performing any hands-on mechanical work to ensure safe operation.
