Section 0 - Engine Disassembly and Assembly - Group 00 Engine Assembly (0-02) M11 Page 0-51 A lathe cut o-ring which has a straight outside with sharp corners and the inside which has two 45 de- gree chamfers, so there are no sharp corners next to the liner. This o-ring must be installed with the straight side facing the block, and the chamfered side next to the liner. If the o-ring is not installed this way, liner bore distortion can occur. Make sure the cylinder block and all parts are clean before assembly. Caution: The liners must be installed within 30 seconds after being lubricated with oil.
If the liners are not in- stalled within this time limit, the o-rings will swell and be damaged when the liner is installed. Use clean 15W-40 oil to coat the liner o-ring seals. Install the o-ring seal on the liner. Install the liner into the cylinder block. When acceptable reused liners are installed, rotate the liner 90 degrees from their original position in the engine. The thrust and anti-thrust surfaces must face the front and back of the cylinder block. Use the cylinder liner driver, Part No. 3376056, and a leather mallet to drive the liner into the cylinder block bore. If the liner does not seat properly, remove the liner.
In- spect the counterbore seat and liner for nicks, burrs, or dirt. Install the liner again. Use cylinder liner clamping tool, Part No. 3824272, to seat the liner into the cylinder block. Place the force plate (3) across the top of the liner with the step inside the liner bore.
