Refitting the piston rings
- Place the scraper ring spring on the piston.
- Install the scraper ring keeping the opening op-
posed to the spring junction and with the writing
"top" facing the piston top. The chamfered side of
the oil scraper ring should always be facing the
piston crown.
- Fit the second lining with the identification letter
or the writing "top" facing the piston crown. In any
case, the step must be facing opposite the piston
top.
- Install the first compression lining in the direction
imposed by the housing.
- It is advisable to use a fitter to facilitate the in-
stallation of the linings.
N.B.
THE TWO PISTON RINGS ARE MADE WITH A
TAPERED CYLINDRICAL CONTACT CROSS-
SECTION. THIS IS TO ACHIEVE A BETTER
BEDDING.
- Misalign the lining openings at 120° as shown in the figure.
- Lubricate the components with engine oil.
- The engine uses the first compression lining with an L section.
Refitting the cylinder
- Insert the cylinder base gasket with the thickness
determined above.
- Using the fork and the band clamp, install the
cylinder as shown in the figure.
N.B.
BEFORE INSTALLING THE CYLINDER, CARE-
FULLY BLOW THE LUBRICATION DUCT AND
LUBRICATE THE CYLINDER LINER. CHECK
THE PRESENCE OF THE TWO REFERENCE
DOWELS.
