New Tightening Method-By Use of Bolts to be Tightened in Plastic Area
A new type of bolts, to be tightened in plastic area, is currently used in some parts of the engine. The tightening
method for the bolts is different from the conventional one. Be sure to observe the method described in the text
when tightening the bolts.
Service limits are provided for the bolts. Make sure that the service limits described in the text are strictly
observed.
•Area where the bolts are in use:
(1) Cylinder head bolts
(2) Main bearing cap bolts
(3) Connecting rod cap bolts
•Tightening method
After tightening the bolts to the specified torque, tighten them another 90° or 180° (twice 90°). The tightening
method varies on different areas. Observe the tightening method described in the text.

Part to be Applied Brand
From in Place Gasket(FIPG)
The engine has several areas where the from-in-place gasket(FIPG) is in use. To ensure that gasket fully serves
its purpose, it is necessary to observe some precautions when applying the gasket. Bead size, continuity and
location are of paramount importance. Too thin a bead could cause leaks. Too thick a bead, on the other hand,
could be squeezed out of location, causing blocking or narrowing of the fluid feed line. To eliminate the possibility
of leaks from a joint, therefore, it is absolutely necessary to apply the gasket evenly without a break, while
observing the correct bead size.
Since the FIPG used in the engine hardens as it reacts with the moisture in the atmospheric air, it is normally
used in the metallic flange areas.
Disassembly
The parts assembled with the FIPG can be easily disassembled without use of a special method. In some cases,
however, the sealant between the joined surfaces may have broken by lightly striking with a mallet or similar tool.
A flat and thin gasket scraper may be lightly hammered in between the joined surfaces. In this case, however,
care must be taken to prevent damage to the joined surfaces. For removal of the oil pan, the special tool “Oil Pan
Remover” (MD998727) is available. Be sure to use the special tool to remove the oil pan.
Surface preparation
Thoroughly remove all substances deposited on the gasket application surfaces, using a gasket scraper or wire
brush.
Check to ensure that the surfaces to which the FIPG is to be applied is flat. Make sure that there are no oils,
greases and foreign substances deposited on the application surfaces. Do not forget to remove the old FIPG
remaining in the bolt holes.
From-in-place gasket Application
Applied FIPG bead should be of the specified size and without breaks. Also be sure to encircle the bolt hole
circumference with a completely continuous bead. The FIPG can be wiped away unless it is hardened. While the
FIPG is still moist (in less than 15 minutes), mount the parts in position. When the parts are mounted, make sure
that the gasket is applied to the required area only.
The FIPG application procedure may vary on different areas. Observe the procedure described in the text when
applying the FIPG.

MAINTENANCE
G424 engine requires a certain amount of
maintenance. Suggested maintenance requirements
are contained in this section. The owner should,
however, develop his own maintenance schedule
using the requirements listed in this section and any
other necessary requirements resulting from optional
additions to the engine system.
Test Fuel System for Leaks
• Obtain a pump spray bottle.
• Fill with an approved leak test solution or a mixture
of water and dish soap.
• Spray a generous amount of the solution on the
entire fuel system including the fuel storage
container and fuel lines.
• Wait approximately 15-60 seconds then perform a
visual inspection of entire fuel system.
• Leaks will cause the soapy solution to bubble.
• Repair any leaks before continuing.
• Crank the engine through several revolutions. This
will energize the fuel lock and allow fuel to flow to the
pressure regulator/vaporizer. Apply additional leak
test solution to this portion of the fuel system and
inspect as above.
• Repair any fuel leaks before continuing.
Check Engine Oil Level
IMPORTANT : Care must be taken when checking
engine oil level. Oil level must be main-tained between
the "MIN" mark and the "MAX" mark on the dipstick. To
ensure that you are not getting a false reading, make
sure the following steps are taken before checking the
oil level.
1. Stop engine if in use.
2. Allow sufficient time (approximately 2 minutes) for
the oil to drain back into the oil pan.
3. Remove dipstick. Wipe clean and reinstall. Push
dipstick all the way into the dipstick tube.
4. Remove dipstick and note the oil level.
5. Oil level must be between the "MAX" and "MIN"
marks.
6. If the oil level is below the "MIN" mark, proceed to
Steps 7 and 8, and reinstall dipstick into the dipstick
tube.
7. Remove oil filler cap from the valve rocker arm
cover.
8. Add required amount of oil to bring level up to, but
not over, the "MAX" mark on dipstick.
NOTE: When refill engine oil, refill same oil as that
used before.
Inspect Engine for Fluid Leaks
• Start engine and bring up to operating temperature.
• Turn engine off.
• Inspect entire engine for oil and/or coolant leaks.
• Repair any/all leaks before continuing.
Change Engine Oil &Filter
• Start engine.
• Bring up to operating temperature.
• Shut down engine.
• Remove oil fill cap located in valve cover.
• Place drain pan under engine oil pan.
• Remove oil drain plug located at bottom of oil pan
and allow engine oil to drain.
CAUTION : OIL WILL BE HOT.
• Remove engine oil filter. Make sure the oil filter
gasket does not stick to engine.
CAUTION : OIL WILL BE HOT.
• Using a clean shop towel clean the engine oil filter
gasket mating surface.
• Fill oil filter with engine oil.

G424 Service Manual Maintenance18
• Lube oil filter gasket with engine oil.
• Install oil filter as per filter manufacturers
instructions. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN
• Fill crankcase with engine oil.
• Start engine & run approximately 60 seconds.
• Shut down engine, wait approximately 2 - 5 minutes
and then check oil level.
• When oil level is satisfactory start engine and check
for any possible leaks.
• Repair any/all leaks before returning unit to service.
NOTE
Engine Oil Specification : See, Lubrication System
section
Inspect Accessory Drive Belts
See, "Testing & Adjusting" of Cooling System Section.
Inspect electrical system
• Clean battery outer surfaces with a mixture of baking
soda and water.
• Inspect battery outer surfaces for damage. Replace
as required.
• Remove battery cables and clean.
• Inspect battery cables for worn or missing insulation,
frayed wire and/or corrosion. Replace as required.
Inspect Vacuum Lines and Fittings
• Visually inspect vacuum lines and fittings for physical
damage such as brittleness, cracks, kinks and
misrouting. Repair/replace as required.
• Solvent damage may cause vacuum lines to become
soft. Vacuum lines damaged by oil and/or other
solvents may collapse when the engine is running
effectively closing the passage inside the line.
Check Coolant Level
• Engine must be off and cold.
• NEVER REMOVE THE PRESSURE CAP ON AHOT
ENGINE.
• The coolant level should be equal to the "COLD"
mark on the coolant recovery tank. Periodically
remove the cooling system pressure cap and check
coolant level inside system. The coolant level should
be equal to the sealing surface of the pressure cap.
If level is low replace pressure cap and repair any/all
other leaks.
• On closed systems visually inspect the coolant
recovery tank and hoses for physical damage
• On open systems carefully remove cooling system
pressure cap. Coolant level will be approximately 30-
40 mm below pressure cap sealing surface. If level is
low replace pressure cap and repair any/all other
leaks.
Inspect Coolant Hoses
• Visually inspect coolant hoses and clamps.
• Replace any hose that shows signs of swelling,
cracking, abrasion hardening or any other
damage/deterioration.
• Top-up cooling system with approved coolant.
Inspect Ignition System
• Remove and inspect spark plugs. Replace as
required.
• Test secondary wires with an Ohmmeter. Maximum
resistance repair replace as required.
• Remove distributor cap and perform visual inspection
of distributor cap and rotor. Replace cap & rotor if
corrosion is found on contacts.
• Inspect distributor breaker unit and housing for signs
of corrosion. Repair replace as required.
Replace Spark Plugs
• Utilizing a gentle twisting motion remove the
secondary high voltage leads from the spark plugs.
Replace any damaged leads.
• Remove the spark plugs.
• Gap new spark plugs to proper specs.
• Apply anti-seize compound to spark plug threads.
• Install spark plugs.
• Do not over tighten.
• Install secondary high voltage leads.
