The exhaust valve number 12005-7004 supersedes the earlier 12005-7002. Burned exhaust valves are the common failure on these engines and show up as low compression on one cylinder, difficult hot starting, and a miss under load.

Standard rings in an oversize bore will not seal and cannot be returned once they have been fitted. A bored cylinder measures 65.48 to 65.50mm. GETTING NEW RINGS TO SEAT Check both bores for taper and for glaze before you start. New rings will not bed into a glazed bore and the engine will smoke and pass oil. Hone lightly if the bore is only glazed, then wash it out with hot soapy water and dry it. Honing grit left behind will destroy new rings quickly. Check ring end gap in the bore each set will run in. Do not assume both cylinders measure the same. Check side clearance in the piston ring grooves. Worn grooves pass oil with new rings fitted.
