Table 1 is a guide to selecting the correct type of motor. If your engine is type 1, proceed to
"Type 1". If your engine is a type 2, see "Type 2". If you have a remanufactured engine,
then proceed to "Remanufactured Engines". The following illustrations will provide
additional information on installing the front box.

Note: Check to see if a packing kit is available for your application. The set includes the
short bolts and the long bolts.

The two Type 1 bolts are 30 mm (1.18 in) long. The markings on the bolt head represent the
grade of the bolt. These marks can be seen in illustration 1 and illustration 2. Bolt 6V-2317
is replaced by Bolt 204-0712. Bolt 204-0712 has a torque value of 40 ± 8 N m (30 ± 6 lb-ft).
13 bolts are required for front box installation.

Note: Check availability of kit that includes packing and bolts.

Type 2

Illustration 3 g01408555

Bolt 6V-5219

(C) 40 mm (1.57 in)

Bolt 6V-5219 is 10 mm (0.39 in) longer than Bolt 204-0712. The longer bolt is required due
to the deeper flare and threaded hole. Do not use Bolt 204-0712 or Bolt 6V-2317. Using
these bolts may damage the threads. The torque for Bolt 6V-5219 is 35 ± 8 N m (26 ± 6
lb-ft). 13 bolts are required for front box installation.

Remanufactured Engines
Illustration 5
Be sure to use the correct bolt on remanufactured engines. The flare on the engine block
must be measured to determine which bolts will be used. If your engine block has a 5 mm
(0.20 in) flare (Y), see "Type 1". If your engine block has a 15 mm (0.60 in) counterbore
(Z), see "Type 2".

Measure the tension of the belt that is furthest from the engine.
(1
) "Initial" belt tension is for a new belt.
(2
) "Used" belt tension is for a belt that has operated for 30 minutes or more at rated speed.
(3
) If a belt falls below the "used" belt tension, the belt must be tightened again on the high side of the "used"
belt tension.
