Hi, I am putting a 1.9 engine back together, starting on the 3/4 side. #3 cylinder and piston pin was quite easy to install, since I started the pin before placing the cylinder over the connecting rod then just tapped it in the rest of the way. #4 seems like a bugger to line up since the pin cannot be partially installed before lowering the cylinder (it will hit the water jacket). Is there a trick to linking everything up? I assume I'll have the same trouble with #2 when I do the other side tomorrow... |
