As delivered, the engine has its
carburetor lightly fit into its intake.
Secure it changing its angle according
to the car chassis.
NOTE:
With this engine, the piston will feel tight
at the top of its stroke when the engine is
cold. This is normal. The piston and

perfect running clearance when they
reach their normal running temperatures.

NOTE:
About Head Gasket
These engines are fitted with two head gaskets
of 0.1mm thick and 0.2mm thick. It is
suggested to adjust the total thickness
according to atmospheric temperature,
humidity and glowplug used.
At early stage of running-in, when a glowplug
tends to burn out early or when high
nitromethane content fuel is used, try to run
the engine as it is.
When low nitromethane content fuel is used,
try to run the engine removing a 0.1mm
gasket.
