NOTE: Clean the gasket surfaces on the
crankcase and cylinder. Remove all traces of old
gasket material and apply a new base gasket.
Install the dowel pin(s). Install a new base
gasket onto the mating surface.
NOTE: Route cam chain through the cylinder
chain room and secure it, holding it up while
rotating the engine to avoid damage to the chain,
drive sprocket teeth or tensioner blade.
Apply clean engine oil liberally to the bore and
tapered area of the cylinder. Place the cylinder
on to the studs.
Loop the cam chain through the cylinder chain
room and secure with mechanic’s wire. Allow

block.
NOTE: Clean the gasket surfaces on the
cylinder head and cylinder. Remove all traces
of old gasket material.
Push the rings into the taper using a
non-metallic, blunt-edge tool while holding the
cylinder down. This will help push the piston
past the ring taper into the cylinder.
Remove the support block. Seat the cylinder
firmly on the base gasket.
Install the cam chain guide and dowel pins into
the cylinder. Verify the bottom end is seated
properly in the crankcase.
