Hi all,
How easy are wet cylinder liners to accidentally displace once you've got the head off? We all know the requirement to clamp them when the head's off if you're not doing bottom end work and intend to remove them anyway. I've made a clamp from angle iron bolted between two of the head bolts that spans all of the liners, but I need to clean up the tops of the pistons. If I'm careful, is it safe to work on the piston tops without the liners clamped? As it is, the angle iron's in the way - otherwise I'll have to use big washers and bolts. Comments, please...
Thanks,
Stuey.
