Crankshaft
5. Carefully fit each liner over the piston using a
gentle rocking motion to allow compression of
the piston rings.
Fitting a piston into a liner
Care must be taken when installing liners such that
the silicone sealer is not forced out, blocking
passageways in the crankcase.
Note:
• The liners have a large chamfer at the
bottom of the bore, enabling fitting of the
piston without need for a piston ring
compressor.
Fit each liner over whichever piston is at TOC.
When turning the engine, do not allow the pistons to
contact the inside of the crankcase and also do not
allow filled liners to lift off the crankcase base.
6. Continue filling each liner in turn until all are
filled and sealed.
Note:
• When the liners have been fitted, they
should not be disturbed. If it is necessary
to remove the liner after fitting, the sealer
must be re-applied.
