To get back to this thread....
When you receive the Farr
Engine kit. Some for the Engine components do not come installed. It is not difficult to install them but they do need to be put on the Engine. For all these components I torques them to 9ft/lb as we are installing in aluminium. Clutch and crank nut torques are listed below.
1. Water pump Cover / Starter & bracket. You only have 2 positions when mounting the starter, you can rotate it 180deg and re-bolt if if you would like to. I choose to have the starter cable lug on the bottom to keep the cable away from the hot exhaust. Others (meegusmaster) with this kit have also noted that the starter can get heat soaked from being so close to the exhaust and stop working while out on a ride. It was suggested to make a heat shield over the starter to prevent this. That is what I plan on doing w reflective heat tape.

2. Rotary valve cover / oil injection block off plate. The cover bolts right up with a gasket. Then you use the block off plate where the oil injection would normally mount. I used Permatex hi-temp RTV for the block off plate as a gasket is not included. Oil injection is not used on this kit and you need to premix your gas. Note: The rotary valve covers do not all look the same depending on the year and model of the Engine.

3. Power valves. These bolt right up with a gasket. The valve itself is labeled top so you cant really mess this up. I have not installed the covers yet and there seems to be some adjustment to these as well. I will elaborate on that further in the thread.

4. Coolant block off, Coolant outlet, and temp sensor. These bolt right up with a gasket. The temp sensor I am using is to control my radiator fan. I purchased a adjustable fan controller by manufacture Mishimoto. Part# MMFAN-CNTRL-U18NPT

5. You will also need to install the clutch (torqued to 70 ft/lb). My kit did not include the clutch bolt so you may need to purchase this separately.
6. You need to install the armature plate, stator, pick-up, magneto, flywheel, and starter pulley. The crank nut is to be torqued to 77 ft/lb. I didn't take photos of this installation but here is a diagram to help. I included the pull start option with my kit so you need to install the pull start assembly. Easy 4 bolts. Position it so the rope eyelet is facing the existing pull start handle location.
