Re: "help"
Mike when you are ready to install pistons.Be cure to check all ring gaps in cylinders using a piston to square them in bore. Check all the steel rails of oil rings also. Remember rubber fuel line on rod bolts. Pay attention to order of all components to include clocking of rings.
Once you have piston with rings on in cylinders ready to push into bore. Use a medium sized hammer with long handle. Handle end against piston holding pressure against piston. DO NOT HIT PISTON WITH HAMMER HANDLE. Holding hammer use palm of your hand on hammer head to push piston hitting with palm. Keep handle touching piston at all times until piston is in bore & push home to Moma. Should a ring catch you will feel it through you hand holding hammer. It’s really easy & issue free once you get the hang of it. Good luck.
Cheers
Tony
