Procedure
1.
Refer to Figure 10-59; install a new cylinder base O-ring (25) lubricated with aviation
engine oil. (Verify the cylinder base O-ring is free of cracks and deformities.)
2.
Install the valve rocker shafts (18) in the cylinder rocker shaft bores prior to installing
the cylinders.
3.
Verify the cylinder valve keepers have been properly installed.
4.
Thoroughly clean the cylinder deck and stud threads with Stoddard solvent; use a
narrow brush to clean stud thread holes. The deck and stud holes must be free of all
dirt and debris.
5.
Lubricate all cylinder through bolt and deck stud threads using clean 50 weight
aviation engine oil.
6.
Verify the piston rings (49 to 52) have been partially installed in the cylinder barrel
and that a new cylinder base O-ring (25) has been installed at the cylinder base.
CAUTION: When installing the connecting rod, use care not to drop
the connecting rod on the cylinder deck to avoid damaging and
having to replace the cylinder.
7.
Carefully rotate the crankshaft placing the connecting rod of the cylinder being
installed in the outer most position. Remove the connecting rod support O-ring.
8.
Back the piston pin (53) out far enough to allow the piston (48) to be installed on the
connecting rod.
9.
Place the cylinder and piston (48) on the connecting rod.
10.
Align the piston with the connecting rod and slide the piston pin into the connecting
rod.
11.
Using a ring compressor, compress the fourth piston ring and push the cylinder until
the fourth piston ring is positioned inside the cylinder barrel.
12.
Remove the ring compressor and push the cylinder assembly against the crankcase
cylinder deck with the stud holes aligned.
13.
While supporting the cylinder, install, but do not torque, the cylinder flange nuts (40
& 41).
14.
Install the 7th stud brackets (42 & 43) and nut (44). The 7th stud nuts have a conical
seat.
15.
Torque the cylinder fasteners according to section 10-8.10 “Cylinder Torque.”
16.
Install the hydraulic tappets and pushrod tubes according to instructions in Section
10-8.12.
