Reassembly

1. Clean cylinder liners and liner recess in cylinder 

block.

2. Lubricate cylinder liner bores, pistons and rings 

with clean engine oil, ensure ring gaps are 
correctly spaced.

3. Clean bearing shell recesses in connecting 

rods and bearing caps.

4. Fit piston ring clamp, LRT-12-204 to each 

piston in turn and fit piston to its respective 
cylinder liner ensuring that when fitted, arrow 
on piston crown will be towards front of engine. 

CAUTION: Do not push pistons fully down 
bores at this stage.

5. Remove piston ring clamp.

push each liner fully down until shoulder of liner 
seats against cylinder block ensuring that the 
arrow on the piston is towards front of engine.

8. To prevent cylinder liners from being displaced, 

position LRT-12-144  cylinder liner clamps and 
secure to cylinder block with cylinder head 
bolts. Ensure that feet of clamps do not
