ENGINE MOUNTING/DISMOUNTING





1. Install the SSTs (arms) to the cylinder block holes as shown, and hand-tighten the bolts (part No.: 9YA20-1003) or M10 x 1.5T length 90 mm {3.55 inch}.





2. Assemble the SSTs (bolts, nuts and plate) to the specified positions.
3. Adjust the SSTs (bolts) so that less than 20 mm {0.79 inch} of thread is exposed.
4. Make the SSTs (arms and plate) parallel by adjusting the SSTs (bolts and nuts).
