highlander10 YaBB Newbies Offline Keep Walking Posts: 32 Groningen, Netherlands Gender:	Engine side covers 08/25/12 at 01:23:41 Hi savages, I am on the procedure of painting the engine's side covers. So i took them off and i saw this part - red frame in the photo - that i can't remember if it is OK like that...I know there was a topic about it.... Second, I do not remember which screw goes where on the covers since the have different lengths. cheerz

The best way to put the right screws back into the right holes is to make a little drawing of the piece on some cardboard before you take it apart, and punch little holes in it to put the screws in as you remove them. Not only will that help you with the screw length - it will help you get the 3 sealing washers in the right place.

The next best way is to set the screws into the holes randomly, and rearrange them so the screws have the same length of bolt sticking out before you start screwing them in. This method works pretty well for the side covers - but the cylinder head cover does not work that way.

The link for the chain tensioner probably shows you where the sealing washers go - but for the length just put the longest screws in the holes where the case edges are the thickest - and try to get all the screws to stick out the same amount prior to screwing anything in.

Someday I will be old......But not today!

How well I remember taking things apart that had different length bolts & not having a system for putting them back.. \IIRC, it was a water pump, back in the 70's.. Man what a puzzle I created, those brackets ,, Yea,, I remember,, it was a water pump, I got a lot more scientific after that.
