Reassembly
・ When replacing the exhaust valve
and connecting pin, be sure to
reinstall the washers and to use a
new stainless steel split pin.
・ Bend the ends of the split pin to
secure it in place.

been removed from the cover is
reinstalled without being overhauled,
it is not necessary to adjust the gap
between the push plate and the
intake valve (motive medium).
・ It is necessary to inspect and adjust
the gap (3 ± 0.3 mm, 0.118 ± 0.012
in) only when installing a new snap-
action unit or an overhauled snap-
action unit (from this or another unit).

seat with anti-seize before
