Cylinder Liner - Installation

  1. Thoroughly clean the liner removing all traces of old silicone sealer.
  2. Remove all traces of sealer from the crankcase bores.
  3. Apply silicone sealer to the liner to crankcase mating face (at the factory, ThreeBond 1216E is used).
  4. Fit each liner over the piston using a gentle rocking motion to allow compression of the piston rings.

    2. Sealer area

    3. Chamfer

  5. The liners must be positioned such that they do not touch each other - it must be possible to pass a 0.1 mm feeler gauge between the centre liner and its adjacent liner on either side. If the liners touch at any point, rotate the liners until there is a minimum 0.1 mm clearance.
    6. Connecting Rods - Bore Clearance

    1. Liners

    note
    The liners have a large chamfer at the bottom of the bore enabling fitting of the piston without need for a piston ring compressor.
    caution
    Fit each liner over whichever piston is at TDC. When turning the engine, do not allow the pistons to contact the inside of the crankcase and also do not allow fitted liners to lift off the crankcase base.
  6. Continue fitting each liner in turn until all are fitted and sealed.
    7. note
    When the liners have been fitted, they should not be disturbed. If it is necessary to remove the liner after fitting, the sealer must be reapplied.
