CR500 Engine Build Pictorial Part 2

Post by dogger315 »

Now it's time to install all the components on the right side of the
combined cases. When I speak of gear lube, I am using Honda HP
Pro. This is a good lube for assembly and break-in. If you want to
switch to the latest synthetic after break-in, that's your choice.

Start with the neutral stopper arm.
Image
Install the lever and a new spring and washer. Torque the bolt (arrow) to 9 lb.ft.

Assemble the drum shifter components into the guide plate. Coat all the
components with clean gear lube. As I stated previously, these are new
pawls, springs and plungers that should be replaced at every rebuild.
Image
Install guide pin in the shift drum then install the drum center (Red arrow)
while holding the neutral stopper arm back with a screwdriver. Torque the
center pin (purple arrow) to 16 lb.ft.
Image
Set the drum center to a position other than neutral and install the
pre-assembled guide plate with the drum shifter over the center pin (Red
arrow), while holding on to the rachet pawls. Torque the three retaining
bolts (Blue arrows) to 10 lb.ft.
Image

Assemble the kick start assembly as shown.
Image
Place the kick start assembly in the case and wind the new return spring clockwise until the end can be inserted into the case.
Image
Install the idler gear (Blue arrow)and bushing (Red arrow) after coating both with gear oil.
Image
Place the shifter collar on the drum shifter (Blue arrow). Assemble the
gearshift spindle return spring, snap ring and thrust washer and install
straddling the case pin as shown.
Image
Coat the clutch outer guide with gear oils and install.
Image
Coat the needle bearing with gear oil and install.
Image
Install the primary drive gear (Red arrow) and bolt/washer (Green arrow).
Install the clutch outer (Purple Arrow). Place a gear jamming device
(Yellow arrow) between the primary gear and clutch drive gear as shown
and torque the primary drive gear bolt (Green arrow) to 33 lb.ft.
Image
That's everything on the right side.
Image
Oil and install the two dowels (Red arrows) and a new gasket.
Image

Install the right side case cover, torquing the bolts to 7 lb.ft. in several
steps and in a criss cross pattern. If you are using ti bolts, make sure you coat
them with grease or ti prep prior to installation or you may never get them out
in one piece.
Image
Oil and insert the two dowels as shown
Image
Place a new gasket on the water pump housing followed by the separator
plate.
Image
Place a second gasket on the separator plate.
Image

Install the water pump cover and torque the bolts to 9 lb.ft.
Image


That's it for this time. Next, the clutch and ignition.
