Installation

Crankshaft Inspection

Main Bearing Inspection

Sensor Plate Inspection

Flywheel / Drive Plate Inspection

Cylinder Block Inspection

Oil Pump Drive Sprocket Inspection

Oil Pump Chain and Oil Pump Chain Adjuster Inspection

NOTE:

- The engine will seize up if it is operated when the parts listed below are not properly lubricated.
Be sure to lubricate all the friction surfaces of these parts with engine oil before installing them.

- Crankshaft journal
- Main bearing
- Thrust bearing
- Oil pump chain guide

- If oil is present between the bearing's outside surface and the cylinder block / lower crank case surface, the bearing could heat up to very high temperature, resulting in seizure.
Be sure to thoroughly wipe off any trace of oil that is present between the bearing's outside surface and the cylinder block / lower crank case surface.

1) Install sensor plate (1) using the following procedure.
a) Attach spring pin (2) to crankshaft (3).

NOTE:
Use spring pin of genuine SUZUKI part (09205-05006).

b) Install sensor plate to crankshaft, fitting pin (2) into hole (4) and facing inside edge (5) outward as shown in figure.

Tightening torque
Sensor plate screw (a): 11 Nm (1.1 kgf-m, 8.5 lbf-ft)









c) Detach spring pin from crankshaft.
2) Install main bearings to cylinder block or lower crankcase using the following procedures:

NOTE:
- Install main bearing halves with oil groove to cylinder block.
- Install other main bearing halves to lower crankcase.

a) Fit the tab (1) on each bearing into recess (2) in cylinder block or lower crankcase.
b) Press bearing end (3) until it is firmly seated on the cylinder block or lower crankcase.
c) Apply engine oil to sliding surface (4) of main bearing halves.

NOTE:
If oil is present between the bearing's outside surface and the camshaft housing / cylinder head surface, the bearing could heat up to very high temperature, resulting in seizure.

Be sure to thoroughly wipe off any trace of oil that is present between the bearing's outside surface (5) and the camshaft housing / cylinder head surface.





3) Install new O-rings (1) to cylinder block (3).
4) Install dowel pins (2) to cylinder block (3).





5) Apply engine oil to thrust bearings (1) and install them to cylinder block journal No.3, with oil grooves (2) facing outward.





6) Apply engine oil to sliding surface of main bearings and crankshaft.
7) Install crankshaft to cylinder block, with oil pump chain installed to oil pump drive sprocket on crankshaft.
8) Apply sealant to mating surface of lower crankcase (1) as shown in figure.

NOTE:
- Before applying sealant, make sure mating surfaces are clean and dry.
- Install lower crankcase within 10 minutes after applying sealant.

"A" Sealant: 99000-31260 (SUZUKI Bond No.1217G)

Sealant bead size for lower crankcase
Width "a": 3 mm (0.11 in.)
Height "b": 2 mm (0.07 in.)






9) Install lower crankcase to cylinder block and tighten crankcase bolt No.1s using the following procedures:

NOTE:
- If crankcase bolt No.1 are reused, check them for deformation by referring to "Crankcase Bolt No.1 Inspection" under Main Bearing Inspection Main Bearing Inspection.
- Use 12-point socket wrench for crankcase bolts No.1.

a) Apply engine oil to bolt threads and seats of crankcase bolt No.1 and tighten bolt to 50 Nm (5.1 kgf-m, 37.0 lbf-ft) in numerical order ("1" - "10") evenly and gradually.
b) Loosen all bolts in reverse numerical order until loosening torque becomes 0.
c) Retighten them to 20 Nm (2.0 kgf-m, 15.0 lbf-ft) in the same manner as in Step a).
d) Retighten them to 35 Nm (3.6 kgf-m, 26.0 lbf-ft) in the same manner as in Step a).
e) Retighten them to 40° in the same manner as in Step a).
f) Retighten them to 40° in the same manner as in Step a).

Tightening torque
Crankcase bolt No.1* (a): (50 Nm -> 0 Nm -> 20 Nm -> 35 Nm -> 40� -> 40� (5.1 kgf-m -> 0 kgf-m -> 2.0 kgf-m -> 3.6 kgf-m -> 40� -> 40�, 37.0 lbf-ft -> 0 lbf-ft -> 15.0 lbf-ft -> 26.0 lbf-ft -> 40� -> 40�))
