Replace all worn or excessively damaged blower parts.
Assemble Blower
Several precautions are given below to assure proper
assembly of the rotors and gears for correct blower
timing.
The lobes on the upper blower rotor and the teeth on its
gear form a right-hand helix while the lobes and teeth of
the lower rotor and gear form a left-hand helix.
Therefore, a rotor with right-hand helix lobes must be
used with a gear having right-hand helix teeth and vice
versa.
One serration is omitted on the drive end of each blower
rotor shaft and a corresponding serration is omitted in
each gear. Assemble the gears on the rotor shafts with
the serrations in alignment.

Apply a rubber base sealant as required to avoid
leakage between the end plates and the blower housing.
NOTE
Be sure no sealant protrudes into the
blower housing. Also, the sealant
must not prevent the end plates from
laying against the housing.
1. Install the blower front end plate. Make sure the
mark TOP on the outer ribbed side is at the top of the
blower housing, identified by the flange which supports
the housing on the top edge of the cylinder block (Fig.
