My Posts This: Topic Forum | Jack, your on the right track, you have to oil up the piston, ring, and sleeve with oil, then put the piston in the engine, and make sure the ring is lined up with the pin, and as you slide the liner into the engine/piston, slightly rotate the sleeve as you push it into the engine, and rock it back and forth until the sleeve slides in. your almost there, your looking for a part of the procedure that isnt there. this is all that you have to do to get the sleeve to slide onto the piston. nothing else. you dont need to touch the ring with anything at this point. you dont need to get to the piston at this point, just oil it all up until it slides in, the oil will burn off later. Use 2in1 oil, or whatever you have. as long as you have the ring lined up with the little pin in the groove, your good to go, push on it until it slides in, remember to rock the liner a little at first, back and forth. If you feel the need to heat up anything, heat the case up, then oil it up, and with a cold liner and piston, slide and rock until it goes in. the only thing that heating it at this point is going to do, is help the liner slide into the case, the piston and ring are still gonna be the same trouble to get into the liner. good luck
