[QUOTE="BJH, post: 713037, member: 48312"] I find it easier (I think) to install the piston onto the rod. Then drop the cylinder over the top of it, then install the head. After posting here I finally found the ring compressor I was looking for at Dennis Kirk. There was no such thing as power valves (KIPS) the last time I did a topend, but here is the way I do it. 1) Install the piston onto the rod while the bottom end assembly is connected. 2) Wipe the inside of the cylinder with 50:50 two cycle oil and gas. 3) Compress the piston rings and drop the cylinder over the top of the piston. 4) Put the head on and finger tighten the nuts. 5) Hand crank the motor over twice with the kick starter to make sure everthing lines up and doesn't pinch grind etc ;) . 6) Then torque the nuts down and install the plug. walla....hope it starts A standard ring compressor won't work because you can't install the cylinder over the piston and then get the compressor out. This type disconnects so you can get it out of the way. http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/product_catalog/Product.jsp?skuId=2818&store=Main&productId=p2818&catId=119&leafCatId=11903 [/QUOTE]
