| Once the tension on the sleeve nuts is released the tie rods may be unscrewed from the head; noting that the fixing into the head is of necessity a left hand thread, (8mm or 5/16"A.F.). Note: Do not attempt to turn the tie rods until the sleeve nuts have been released. |
|
| Take care when releasing the last tie rod on the front cylinder, that the head does not fall off or the valve buckets drop out. | |
| When the head is released the cylinder barrel may be eased from the crankcase taking care as the barrels are removed not to damage the piston assembly. Note: Do not disturb the barrels needlessly. |
|
| The easiest way to refit the barrel is to first assemble the piston into the barrel, and then onto the rod; alternatively the piston may be left in place and located by means of a wooden peg through the gudgeon pin, while the rings are eased into the cylinder bore. Ring compressors are not necessary. | |
