Figure 145 — Cylinder Block Sleeve Seat
Applying a Silastic
®
bead is now standard
assembly procedure whenever cylinder sleeves
are installed.
To prevent partial curing and questionable sealing
and bonding, apply Silastic
®
just before installing
the sleeves.
The cylinder block counterbore ledge and the
cylinder sleeve must be kept clean and free of
any oil residue to ensure that the Silastic
®
bead
seals and bonds properly.
4. Position the cylinder sleeve (1) in the
cylinder bore.
5. With the palms of the hands placed on the
upper end of the cylinder sleeve 180
degrees apart, push downward with a quick,
even pressure. Then, using a large plastic-
faced hammer, tap the sleeve close to the
inside diameter to fully seat the sleeve. Tap
alternately from one side to the other,
gradually working around the entire
circumference of the sleeve.
