Fit piston rings to piston.
Orientate piston ring end-gaps, 180 deg to
each other.
Oil piston rings generously.
Fit o-ring into groove in bottom of
final stage cylinder.
Ensure o-ring is greased.
Slide final stage cylinder over piston.
Ensure that cylinder is right way up.
Fit concentric valve bottom gasket
(GKS-7670) to final stage cylinder.
Fit concentric valve top inner gasket
(GKV-04503511) to valve and top
outer gasket (GKV-07006310-S) to
valve recess in final stage head.
Fit concentric valve to final stage
head.
Ensure that valve gaskets remain in place.
Slide final stage head over studs onto
