3.=== Oil seal

If the engine pan is separated from the cylinder
during a repair, the oil seal 9639 003 1585
(with rigid housing) used on the production line may
be installed.

If the cylinder and engine pan are still assembled,
only oil seal 9638 003 1581 (supplied as a replace-
ment up to now) may be press-fitted.
The technical reasons for this are described in
detail in TI 39.90.

4.=== 023 L: Rubber element on cylinder

The shape of the 023 L cylinder has been modified.
New cylinders are more favorable in terms of noise

reduction.

                                                                                               135TI033 KN

                                                           Left:    Original cylinder
                                                           Right:   Modified cylinder

The Rubber element 1123 028 1400 is
consequently no longer required.
