Cylinder barrel seating

(1/2) > >>

PennoK3:
Really simple question guys.

Just refitted the cylinder barrel to my K3, new gaskets and O rings. However its sitting proud of the crankcase by a very small gap (1mm or so).   Do I assume this will close up when I bolt the head down?

Thanks.

philward:
Is the large o ring at the base of the barrel seated properly? Just thinking that if its not seating round the bottom of the barrel and you tighten it up it may damage the o ring (and hold the barrel off the crankcase). The experts will be along shortly with more detailed questions

PennoK3:
Yes the O rings are seated but not flush.   I've just put the head on and squeezed up the centre nuts and it looks to be mating fine.

Bryanj:
Are you sure the dowels with restrictors at the base gasket are the right way up, the cylinder should go all the way down by hand

PennoK3:
Yes the dowels are the correct orientation.
