Removal Procedure
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
Illustration 1 g03382451
Disconnect the breather hose from the separator for the crankcase breather. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Crankcase Breather - Remove" for the correct procedure.
Remove bolts (1) and bolts (2) from valve mechanism cover (3). Note: The bolts are of two different lengths. Note the positions of the different bolts.
Remove valve mechanism cover (3) from valve mechanism cover base (5).
Remove gasket (3) from valve mechanism cover (2).
If necessary, remove the separator for the crankcase breather from the valve mechanism cover base. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Crankcase Breather - Remove" for the correct procedure. Installation Procedure
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
Thoroughly clean all gasket surfaces of the valve mechanism cover. Clean the gasket surfaces of the valve mechanism cover base.
If necessary, install the separator for the crankcase breather to valve mechanism cover (2). Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Crankcase Breather - Install" for the correct procedure.

Install a new gasket (4) to valve mechanism cover (3). Note: Ensure that the gasket is fully seated into the groove of the valve mechanism cover.
Ensure that harness assemblies (6) are not in contact with the rocker arms of valve mechanism cover base (5). Position valve mechanism cover (3) onto valve mechanism cover base (5). Ensure that harness assemblies (5) are not trapped during the assembly procedure. Install bolts (1).
Install bolts (1) and bolts (2) to valve mechanism cover (3).
Tighten bolts (1) and bolts (2) in the numerical sequence that is shown in Illustration 4. Tighten the bolts to a torque of 22 N m (195 lb in).
Connect the breather hose to the separator for the crankcase breather. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Crankcase Breather - Install" for the correct procedure.
