1 Introduction This parts manual applies to the standard Performer horizontal engine as listed in the Engine Data Table. Parts are arranged in groups of related items and each illustrated part is identified by a reference number corresponding to the same reference number in the parts list. Parts illustrations are typical. Throughout this manual, left and right sides are determined by facing the oil cooler (front) end of the engine. Using the MODEL and SPECIFICATION NUMBER from the nameplate, consult the SALES OPTION CODE TABLE in the back of the book to identify factory installed parts that are unique to your engine (Note: The diagonal line (/) in the model and specification number separates engine characteristics from the specification number/letter. The specifica- tion number denotes customer requested features. The specification letter advances [A to B, B to C, etc] with major manufacturing changes.)
