- Lubricate piston and piston
rings with oil.
- Position the wooden
assembly block between
the piston and crankcase.
- Rest the piston on the
wooden assembly block.
- Position the piston rings so
that the radii at the ring gap
meet at the fixing pin in the
piston groove when the rings
are compressed.
- Use the clamping strap to
compress piston rings around
the piston and check that
piston rings are correctly
positioned.
- Lubricate inside of cylinder
with oil and line it up so that it
is positioned as it will be in
the installed position (see ill.).
It is important to observe this
point as the piston rings might
otherwise break.
- Slide the cylinder over the
piston - the clamping strap is
pushed downward as the
piston rings slip into the
cylinder.
