Main Bearing Case Assembly (Z602-E3B, D902-E3B)
1. Remove the two main bearing case screws 1 (4), and remove the
main bearing case assembly 1 (1), being careful with crankshaft
bearing 3 (5) (9).
2. Remove the main bearing case assembly 2 (2) and the main
bearing case assembly (3) as above. Keep in mind, however,
that the thrust bearing (8) is installed in the main bearing case
assembly (3).
(When reassembling)
• Clean the oil passage in the main bearing cases.
• Apply clean engine oil to the bearings.
• Install the main bearing case assemblies in original positions.
Since diameters of main bearing cases vary, install them in order
of marking (b) (1 for Z602-E3B and 1, 2 for D902-E3B) from the
gear case side. (Refer to the figure.).
• Be careful not to confuse the top and bottom of the crankshaft
bearing 3 (5) (9). (Install the bearing with the oil groove (c) up.)
• Match the alignment numbers (a) on the main bearing case
assembly 1 (1).
• Do the same for the main bearing case assembly 2 (2) and the
main bearing case assembly (3) too.
• When installing the main bearing case 1 and 2, face the mark
“FLYWHEEL” to the flywheel.
• Install the thrust bearing (8) with its oil groove facing outward.
• Confirm that the main bearing case moves smoothly after
tightening the main bearing case screw 1 to the specified torque.
