Fitting middle cylinder sleeve using pushing device 9660
31. Slowly turn the crankshaft clockwise at the pulley until the middle piston can no longer be seen in the gap between the cylinder housing and
crankcase. Then press the cylinder sleeve into place with the pushing device until the restraining strap detaches from the piston shank.
32. Open the restraining strap lock using two screwdrivers and guide the restraining strap out between the crankcase and cylinder sleeve.

Fitting middle cylinder sleeve
34. Loosen the threaded sleeves (set of retaining nuts P140) on the studs until the spacers 9651 between the crankcase and cylinder housing can be
removed.
35. Slide the cylinder housing towards the crankcase.
36. To prevent the cylinder housing from sliding out when you turn the crankshaft, secure the position using threaded sleeves from the set of retaining
nuts P140.
37. Complete the same steps for cylinder bank 1-3 to fit pistons for cylinder bank 4-6.
38. When the pistons have been completely fitted in both cylinder housings, turn the crankshaft twice in a clockwise direction at the pulley. The crank
drive must not become jammed.
