Reassemble the crankcase cover to the cylinder.
Torque in increments of 50 inch pounds to the
requirement listed in the table of specifications.
MUST ALIGN PERFECTLY
ON BOTH SIDES
It is critical the crankcase cover be aligned to the
crankcase at the PTO end. This can be accomplished
by checking with a straight edge or by using a 1/4'
alignment tool such as the shank end of a drill.
If piston rings need assistance to go in, use a hard
wooden wedge made from a dowel.
Place the complete crankshaft and piston assembly into
the cylinder. Make sure to stagger the ring end gaps.
The tapered edge of the cylinder will compress the rings.
Use care not to damage the connecting rod.
