Figure 6-89. Install Packing
(5)
Slide packing (2) down firmly against shoulder on the liner.
NOTE
Make sure the packing is not twisted.
(6)
Coat the liner packings, sealing area of the cylinder liner and cylinder block preformed packing with lubricant
soap.
CAUTION
Do not use oil or hand cleaner soap on cylinder liner packing or preformed
packings. Petroleum products will cause the red (or white) preformed packing to
swell, which may result in preformed packing damage during liner installation.
(7)
Carefully place the cylinder liner, with packing installed, into the cylinder block bore. Do not scuff the packing
across the upper bore.
(a)
When liners are pitted or eroded on the OD and are under one-half the liner thickness, rotate liners 90°
from their removed position. Rotate the pitted section of the liner either toward the front or rear of the
engine.
(b)
If liners are not pitted or eroded, rotation will not be necessary. Install liners with mark toward the front of
the engine. A resistance will be felt when cylinder liner is aligned in pilot bore.
(8) Seat liners with wood block (Figure 6-90, 1) and hammer (2). If (75160) KCD10001 Puller (3) was used to
remove liners, this tool may also be used to seat them. Cylinder liner will protrude over the top of the cylinder
block more than normal due to uncompressed packings and preformed packings.
