REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS 170
Figure 170 — Cylinder Block Sleeve Seat
4. Position the cylinder sleeve (1) in the cylinder bore. Applying a Silastic® bead is now standard assembly procedure whenever cylinder sleeves are installed. To prevent partial curing and questionable sealing and bonding, apply Silastic® just before installing the sleeves.
5. With the palms of the hands placed on the upper end of the cylinder sleeve 180 degrees apart, push downward with a quick, even pressure. Then, using a large plastic-faced hammer, tap the sleeve close to the inside diameter to fully seat the sleeve. Tap alternately from one side to the other, gradually working around the entire circumference of the sleeve.
The cylinder block counterbore ledge and the cylinder sleeve must be kept clean and free of any oil residue to ensure that the Silastic® bead seals and bonds properly.
