3. Lubricate the inside wall of the cylinder; then using a
ring compressor, compress the rings and slide the
cylinder over the piston. Route the cam chain up
through the cylinder cam chain housing; then remove
the piston holder and seat the cylinder firmly on the
crankcase.
The cylinder should slide on easily. Do not force the
cylinder or damage to the piston, rings, cylinder, or
crankshaft assembly may occur.
