    Rod to crankshaft assembly

    crank end plate seal

    OK, another little stumbling block.<br />V4, crossflow. There are 4 bolts that hold the end plate onto the bearing retainer on the bottom of the crank. These little bolts have some kind of seal on them. My gasket kit does not include them and the manual has no info on these either.<br />To me...

    Why all the "De-carb" talk???

    This might be a dumb question, but I see people talking about this all the time. This is the first year i have owned my "own" boat so I'm just learning what should be done. Now I have snowmobiled for 20 years and have never heard of anyone "de-carbing" their sled engine. A 2 stroke is a 2...
