Clearance between the piston and cylinder must be measured at the bottom of the piston skirt thrust face. Refer to Chart, Fig. 37, for proper clearance. The thrust faces on the piston skirt are 90° from the axis of the piston pin hole.

In reassembly; use a ring compressor and stagger the piston ring gaps 90° apart around the piston. Oil the piston, rings, wrist pin, rod bearings and cylinder walls before assembly.

Note: Mount piston and rod assembly with the stamped number on the connecting rod bolt boss facing toward the open end of the crankcase. Assemble connecting rod cap in like manner so that the two numbers are on the identical side. Turn crankshaft to lower end of stroke and tap piston down until rod contacts crank pin. Mount dipper so that cap nuts are accessible from open end of crankcase. Tighten connecting rod nuts to 22 foot pounds torque.

PISTON RINGS (Fig's. 38 and 39)
If a ring expander tool is not available, install rings by placing the open end of the ring on piston first, as shown in Fig. 38. Install bottom ring first and work up to the head of piston, installing top ring last. Spread ring only far enough to slip over piston and into correct groove, being careful not to distort ring. A pit mark, or the word 'top' is stamped on the rings, to indicate the correct placement of the rings on the piston: Scraper ring must be mounted with scraper edge down, otherwise oil pumping and excessive oil consumption will result.

CYLINDER BLOCK
Clean all dirt and foreign deposits from between the cylinder block fins.

The block does not have to be removed unless the cylinder bore is worn more than .005 inch oversize. The block should then be reground and fitted with oversize piston and rings. This work should be done at an authorized 'Wisconsin Service Station'.

In reassembly: tighten the four cylinder block mounting nuts, 40 to 50 foot pounds torque. The capscrew in valve spring compartment should be tightened to 32 foot pounds torque.

CAMSHAFT and VALVE TAPPETS (Fig. 40)
TIMING MARKS (Fig. 41)

To prevent tappets from failing out and becoming damaged when camshaft is removed, turn crankcase over on its side as shown in Fig. 10. Push tappets inward to clear cam lobes and remove camshaft.

Figure 41

Remove tappets; check face for scuffing and inspect body for wear. Body diameter of .6245 / .6235" has a clearance of .0005 to .0025" in guide hole.

In reassembly: Tappets must be inserted in crankcase before camshaft is assembled. Mount camshaft so that timing mark on cam gear matches up with marked gear tooth on crankshaft gear. See Fig. 41. If valve timing is off, engine will not function properly or may not run at all. Be sure thrust spring is in place in end of camshaft, before mounting gear cover.

TAPPET ADJUSTMENT (Figure 42) Tappet adjustment can be made immediately after assembling the valves, springs and locks, see Fig. 42. With the tappets in their lowest position and the engine cold, the clearance should be:

inlet - .007 inch
exhaust - .016 inch

Caution: Be sure exhaust tappet is not riding on compression release spoiler cam. To check tappet clearance on an assembled engine; turn crankshaft so that take-off or flywheel keyways are in a 12 o'clock position, and on compression stroke. Observe position of valve stems in the inspection compartment. Both valves should be in their lowest position (closed); proceed to check clearance.

COMPRESSION RELEASE (Fig. 43)
The automatic compression release is incorporated with the engine camshaft, and with proper engine maintenance should operate trouble free, with a minimum of wear.

While cranking engine, a spoiler cam holds the exhaust valve slightly open thru a portion of the compression stroke. This condition reduces the compression pressure, allowing the engine to be turned over faster and with less effort. After the engine starts and speed reaches 650 R.P.M., the flyweight places spoiler cam in an inoperative position and normal compression is returned to combustion chamber.

BREAKER PUSH PIN and BUSHING (Fig. 44)
Push pin for breaker am should be removed, inspected for wear and replaced if necessary. In reassembly: Mount assist spring under head of push pin and insert pin assembly into guide hole, with spherical end of pin toward camshaft striker plate, see Fig. 44.
If clearance between new push pin and bushing is excessive, replace bushing. Ream I. D. of bushing .2785 to .2790 inches after pressing in place. Mount bushing to crankcase with LOCTITE if necessary. 5
