7. CYLINDER 

ASSEMBLY 

a.  The cylinder should be installed with the valves 

removed. 

b.  Set the cylinder on the crosshead guide over 

the piston rods and packing boxes. 

c.  Ensure that the valve cutouts on the upper 

packing boxes are aligned with the cylinder 
valve pockets. 

d.  Place the pistons (without shims or rings) on 

the rods.  Rotate the compressor by hand and 
verify that the pistons are centered in the 
cylinder bores.  The pistons must not touch the 
cylinder walls.  Adjust the cylinder as 
necessary. 

e.  Install the cylinder capscrews and tighten 

evenly per Table 7 - "Bolt Torque." 

f. Remove 

the 

pistons. 

8. Rotate the flywheel by hand to ensure the 

compressor turns freely.

PISTON INSTALLATION

 

a.  To set the piston clearance, remove the valves 

from one side of the cylinder. 

b.  Rotate the flywheel by hand to bring one piston 

rod to top dead center. 

c.  Set the bottom shim washer(s) onto the piston 

rod. 

d.  Place the piston (without rings and expanders) 

on the piston rod. 

e.  Place the upper shim washer(s) over the rod 

onto the piston. 

f. 

Install the piston cap (without the O-ring). 

g.  Tighten the piston nut on securely. 
h.  Install the head (without the O-ring), and tighten 

the head bolts securely. 

i.  Ensure that the piston is at top dead center.  

Measure the clearance between the piston and 
head through one of the upper valve pockets. 

j.  Rotate the crankshaft until the piston is at 

bottom dead center.  Measure the clearance 
between the piston and packing box through a 
lower valve pockets. 

k.  Compare the piston clearance values to those 

in Table 10 - "Piston Clearance." 

Upper Piston 

Clearance 

0.035" - 0.050" 

(0.89 to 1.27 mm) 

Lower Piston 

Clearance 

0.003" - 0.005" 

(0.08 to 0.13 mm) 

Table 10 - Piston Clearance

 

l.  Remove the piston. Repeat steps b - k with 

revised shimming until both clearances values 
are satisfactory. 

m.  Once the proper shims are determined, remove 

the piston again. 

n.  Install an expander and piston ring in each 

groove in the piston.  The gap in each 
expander should be 180° from the gap in the 
piston ring.  In addition, each piston ring's gap 
should be 180° from that of adjacent ring(s). 

o.  Squeeze the piston rings inward with light 

pressure and work the piston into the cylinder 
over the rod. 

p.  Place the upper shim washer(s) over the rod 

onto the piston. 

q.  Install the piston cap and O-ring. 
r.  Tighten the piston nut per Table 7 - "Bolt 

Torque." 

s.  Install the head with its O-ring, and evenly 

tighten the head bolts per Table 7 - "Bolt 
Torque." 

t. 

Repeat same procedure for the second piston. 

u.  Verify the proper upper and lower piston 

clearance before proceeding. 

10.  Install the valves per "Valve Replacement" Section. 

11.  Rotate the compressor by hand to verify that it turns 

freely. 

12. Refer to the "Pre-Startup Check List", and "Startup 

Procedure." 

13.  After the compressor has run for a sufficient time to 

reach operating temperature, allow to cool and 
retighten the valve hold down screws.
