Cylinder liners
To remove and to fit Operation 7-2
Special requirements
To remove
1 Remove the pistons and connecting rod assemblies, Operation 4-1.
2 Fit covers over the journals of the crankshaft for protection from dirt or water.
3 Use the special tool (A1), GE50001, to remove the cylinder liners (A2). Make a note of the bore position to
which each liner is fitted.
To fit
1 Clean the cylinder liners and the liner bores in the crankcase.
2 Install the cylinder liners in the cylinder block without the ‘O’ ring seals or the filler band. Ensure that the
cylinder liners are fitted to their original positions.
3 Check the protrusion of the cylinder liners, Operation 7-3.
4 Remove the liners and fit new ‘O’ ring seals.
Note: Apply liquid soap and/or clean engine oil immediately before assembly. Do not apply the liquid soap and/
or clean engine oil to the seals too early as the seals may swell and become pinched by the liners during
installation.
5 When the engine is ready for final assembly, the ‘O’ ring seals, the cylinder block and the upper filler band
must be lubricated before installation. If the lower ‘O’ ring seals are black in colour, apply liquid soap to them
and to the cylinder block, and immerse the upper filler band in clean engine oil. If the lower ‘O’ rings are brown
in colour, apply engine oil to them, to the cylinder block and immerse the upper filler band in clean engine oil.
6 After the engine oil or liquid soap has been applied, immerse the filler band in clean engine oil, then
immediately fit the filler band to the groove in the cylinder liner below the liner flange. Immediately install the
cylinder liner in the crankcase before expansion of the band occurs. Use the special tool (B1), GE50000, to
install the liners (B2). Ensure that the liners are fitted to the correct positions.
7 Fit the pistons and connecting rod assemblies, Operation 4-1.
