Refitting the piston rings
- Place the scraper ring spring on the piston.
- Install the scraper ring keeping the opening op-
posed to the spring junction and with the writing
"top" facing the piston crown. The chamfered side
of the oil scraper ring should always be facing the
piston crown.
- Fit the second lining with the identification letter
or the writing "top" facing the piston crown. In any
case, the step must be facing opposite the piston
crown.
- Install the first compression lining in the direction
imposed by the housing.
- It is advisable to use a fitter to facilitate the in-
stallation of the linings.
N.B.
THE TWO PISTON RINGS ARE MADE WITH A TAPERED
CYLINDRICAL CONTACT CROSS-SECTION. THIS IS TO
ACHIEVE A BETTER BEDDING.
- Misalign the lining openings at 120° as shown in the figure.
- Lubricate the components with engine oil.
- The engine uses the first compression lining with an L section.
Refitting the cylinder
- Insert the cylinder base gasket with the thickness
determined above.
- Using the fork and the ring clamp, fit the cylinder
as shown in the figure.
N.B.
BEFORE FITTING THE CYLINDER, CAREFULLY BLOW

DER LINER. CHECK THE PRESENCE OF THE TWO REF-
ERENCE DOWELS.
