Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, always count the teeth on your current crankshaft's oil pump drive gear. This unit features a 16-tooth gear; if your engine requires 22 teeth, this part will not function. Installation involves splitting the engine crankcase, which should be performed using a proper crankcase puller to prevent damage to the mating surfaces. Always use a high-quality engine assembly lubricant on the main bearings and connecting rod pin during the installation process. Keep the crankshaft clean and free of rust by storing it in a dry environment until you are ready for final assembly.
