Engine & Valve Train Fasteners
The air-cooled CRF100F engine benefits from periodic valve clearance inspections. When the valve cover is off for this service, the cover bolt torque must be respected upon reinstallation to ensure the gasket seals properly. Oil weeping from a loose valve cover gasket is a common issue on four-strokes where cover bolts are over-tightened or under-tightened unevenly.
