I've just removed the passenger side head on my 85 wasserbox and accidentally took the cylinders along with it. Has anyone ever successfully installed cylinders over the pistons while they are still in the engine. I almost had the first back on just using my fingers, but the oil ring is just a bit too strong for me to hold in the compressed position. I was thinking there must be a simple too I could make such as cutting up a can or so. Any ideas? Thanks, -- James Wagner |
