The crankshaft hub (45) can be installed by a different procedure if the engine should accidentally be cranked over after matchmarking the hub and engine front cover assembly.
Set number 1 piston assembly to top dead center.
Install crankshaft hub (45) with cast arrow on hub in the 12 o'clock position
