For those that feel confident enough to undertake mainten<strong>an</strong>ce or repair work themselves, thefollowing in<strong>for</strong>mation will prove useful. Be aware that whilst both SP <strong>an</strong>d CD types are simple todism<strong>an</strong>tle, there are one or two parts that may get lost during disassembly, such as Woodruff keys<strong>an</strong>d in particular the PTFE pad that locates on one end of the gudgeon pin. When putting <strong>you</strong>r <strong>engine</strong>back together it is essential of course that the cylinder valve is correctly timed.As from 1 st August 2005, if <strong>you</strong> return <strong>you</strong>r warr<strong>an</strong>ty <strong>for</strong>m within 1 month of purchase, <strong>you</strong> willautomatically benefit from our lifetime repair offer. <strong>The</strong>re<strong>for</strong>e even if <strong>you</strong> crash <strong>you</strong>r <strong>engine</strong>, <strong>you</strong>will never have to pay more th<strong>an</strong> 50% of the cost of a new <strong>engine</strong> (<strong>RCV</strong> RRP) to cover repair orreplacement.Reassembling <strong>an</strong>d timing the <strong>RCV</strong>Timing the Cylinder (on all <strong>engine</strong>s)<strong>The</strong> rotating cylinder on all <strong>RCV</strong> <strong>engine</strong>s has to betimed with cr<strong>an</strong>kshaft rotation. <strong>RCV</strong> assembly <strong>an</strong>dtiming is infinitely more simple th<strong>an</strong> similar work onconventional poppet valved four stroke <strong>engine</strong>s <strong>an</strong>dwith care, is foolproof. <strong>The</strong> correct timing placement ofthe cylinder valve assembly will be effected when thecylinder port is equidist<strong>an</strong>t between the inlet <strong>an</strong>dexhaust orifices in the casing.with cylinder correctly held in position in itscasing, carefully engage the gear to thecr<strong>an</strong>kshaft with piston at TDCThis c<strong>an</strong> be achieved visually by holding the unit up to a window or light <strong>an</strong>d peering intentlythrough the ports but <strong>for</strong> absolute certainty a very small plastic tie wrap passed through the inlet <strong>an</strong>dexhaust will lock the cylinder in place in its housing.
