1. Crankshaft Pulley -
Remove positive battery leads
from starter motor and isolate
positive lead from battery. It
will be necessary to stop the
engine from rotating when
removing and re-torqueing the
crankshaft bolt. This can be
done by removing the starter
motor and placing a pry bar in
the ring gear teeth on the
flywheel. An impact wrench can
be used for removal but will not
ensure the correct torque when
re fitting. Remove the original
crank shaft pulley retaining
bolt with a 1½” standard socket
for the 4.107 & 4.108. For the
Westerbeke 40 use a 1
1/8”.socket. With the bolt
removed the pulley should pull
off quite easily by using two
hands and pulling evenly on both
sides. Do not pry against timing
cover. This is a good
opportunity to inspect front
seal for leaks and replace if
necessary, as the seal is now
fully exposed. One is included
in the kit. Re fit the crank
pulley applying a smear of
grease to the polished area on
which the seal rides. 4.107 &
4.108 tighten the retaining bolt
to 230 ft lbs if you have a
phosphate bolt (dull finish most
popular) or 190 ft lbs if you
have a cadmium coated bolt
(shinny).
Westerbeke 40 Only.
Owners can purchase from us the
necessary replacement larger
phosphate bolt (part# 32162316)
and washer (part# 33124119) to
fit in place of the original
one. Tighten with 1½" socket to
230 ft lbs.

The
Westerbeke 40 requires
some additional bolts
and spacers to re-align
alternator to be placed
as shown above. |

2. Water Pump with Pulley -
Drain anti freeze coolant.
Remove the old fresh water
circulating pump. Clean the
gasket surfaces, and fit the new
water pump which will have the
serpentine pulley already
installed. (new gasket
supplied). 4.108 Owners with the
Bowman manifold. (as configured
in the above picture) will be
required to fit the short
supplied hose to bring the fresh
water cross over pipe forward
slightly to avoid contact with
the new serpentine belt. This
will replace the existing hose.
This does not apply to others
not using the Bowman manifold.
3. Alternator Pulley -
Replace the V pulley on the
alternator with the serpentine
pulley. An impact wrench works
well for this. Some alternators
have a provision in the end of
the armature shaft for an allen
wrench to hold armature from
turning while tightening with an
open wrench. Torque may vary
according to your alternator
manufacturer.

4. Serpentine Belt &
Tension - Fit the
new serpentine belt.
Tension should be
adjusted using the
original alternator
adjusting arm so that,
with normal thumb
pressure, the belt can
be depressed 3/8 of an
inch at the center of
the longest span. (per
fig 2) NOTE. The new
belt will require re
tightening after a few
hours of operation. This
check should be done
while the engine and
belt is warm. Continue
to check tension until
the new belt no longer
stretches. Following
this procedure, periodic
checks should be made
checking condition and
tension.
Carry a spare! |

5. Replacing Coolant - If
you have not changed your
coolant within the recommended
period, this is a good time to
do so. We suggest a good quality
extended life ethylene glycol
anti freeze with corrosion
protection and rust inhibitor.
Once coolant is filled with a
50% 50% mix, approx. 6.6 qts.,
not including hot water heater,
check for leaks. Be sure to vent
the air, and monitor the fluid
level and temperature carefully
before and after engine comes up
to working temperature. Caution:
Do not remove cap to check level
until engine has cooled down as
the system will be under
pressure and could cause burns.
