It is important that the steel ring and the copper
sleeve are replaced at the same time in order to re-
tain the correct clearance between ring and sleeve.
The O-ring and the upper sealing ring should always
be replaced with new ones.
IMPORTANT! The 31/32/41/42/43 series has
an early and a late version of the copper
sleeves and cylinder head. Ensure diameter on
the copper sleeve points correspond with the
cylinder head hole to the combustion chamber.
The diameter of the hole on the late version is
10.3 mm, the early version has a smaller diam-
eter.

Guide the drift into the cylinder head. Hit the sleeve
in with a plastic mallet until it bottoms.
IMPORTANT! Note that with the cylinder block
installed: the piston must not be at Top Dead
Center (TDC) when the replacement takes
place. The piston may be damaged by the tool
