: Push the hose clamp (1) over the
manifold. The screw head must
point to the right.

0000 893 2600 to compress the
rings around the piston.

of rings once again.
– Lubricate the inside of the
cylinder with oil and line it up so
that it is positioned as it will be in
the installed condition. It is
important to observe this point as
the piston rings might otherwise
break.
