28. Place each piston over the connecting rod so the
indicator dot on each piston will point toward the
intake/exhaust ports. Install with an oiled piston
pin; then install the new circlips so the open end is
directed away from the access slot of the piston.
NOTE: The indicator dot is found on the dome of
the piston.

29. Rotate the piston ring until the ring end is properly
positioned on either side of the ring keeper; then
apply oil to the piston assemblies and cylinder
bores. Remove the rubber bands from the connect-
ing rods.
30. In turn on each cylinder, place a piston holder (or
suitable substitute) beneath the piston skirt and
square the piston in respect to the crankcase; then
using a ring compressor or the fingers, compress
the ring and slide the cylinder over the piston.
Remove the piston holder and seat the cylinder
firmly onto the crankcase.
NOTE: Prior to installing the cylinders, assure
that the four cylinder locating pins are in place.
NOTE: The cylinders should slide on easily. DO
NOT force the cylinders on.
CAUTION
Incorrect installation of the piston ring will result in
engine damage.
CAUTION
Make sure the circlips are firmly seated and the open
end is directed away from the access slot before con-
tinuing with assembly.
