| 1. | Remove spark plugs. | |
| 2. | See Figure 1. Install head bolt covers (1), on head bolts (3), secure using setscrew (2) and Allen wrench included with kit. To prevent setscrews from falling into the spark plug holes, start threading the setscrews into the covers before placing them over the head bolts. Position cover on head bolt so that when spark plug is reinstalled setscrew is hidden from view but accessible with Allen wrench. Do not tighten setscrews on high points of bolts. | |
| 3. | Reinstall spark plugs. Tighten spark plugs to 15–24 N·m (11–18 ft-lbs). If a torque wrench is not available, finger-tighten spark plug and then, using a spark plug wrench, tighten plug an additional 1/4 turn. | |
| 4. | Readjust setscrew tightness after motor has operated at full operating temperature and then cooled. |
