ENGINE WORK VERIFICATION
THE ENGINE HAS BEEN PARTIALLY DISASSEMBLED AND THE FOLLOWING OBSERVATIONS MADE SO FAR:
NO LOCKTITE ON THE ROCKER COVER STUDS - THE STUDS WILL NOW NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THREAD DAMAGE INCURRED AFTER THE STUDS RELEASED FROM THE ROCKER COVER AND THE NUTS WOULDN'T EASILY DE-TORQUE
DESPITE BEING CLEARLY MARKED (FACTORY ARROW MARK PLUS HAND ETCHING ON THE FRONT FACE) THE RIGHT-HAND PISTON WAS FITTED IN THE INCORRECT ORIENTATION (ARROW SHOULD BE FACING FORWARDS - TO THE RIGHT PER THE PHOTO)
LEFT-HAND PISTON WRIST-PIN WAS CLEARLY ASSEMBLED BY FORCE AND WOULD NOT EASILY DISASSEMBLE; EITHER THE PINS GOT SWITCHED OR AN INCORRECTLY SIZED REPLACEMENT WAS USED
