NOTE

O-rings that are missing, distorted, pinched or otherwise dam-
aged will result in either oil leakage or low oil pressure. Use of
the wrong o-ring will have the same results. Since many o-rings
are similar in size and appearance, always use new o-rings,
keeping them packaged until use to avoid confusion.

1.

See

Figure 3-28

. Apply a very thin film of clean H-D 20W50

engine oil to new o-rings for both lower cylinder deck
dowels. Install and verify that o-ring is properly seated in
groove.

See

Figure 3-29

. Apply a very thin film of clean H-D 20W50

engine oil to new o-ring seal for the bottom of the cylinder
liner. Install new o-ring seal.

NOTE

Excessive lubrication of cylinder sleeve o-ring seal will result
in oil weepage between cylinder and crankcase as engine is
run. This condition may be incorrectly diagnosed as an oil leak.

3.

See

Figure 3-30

. Verify that the piston ring end gaps are

staggered. Rotate each ring to position the gap 90 to 180
degrees from the gap in the ring above it. Locate the top
piston ring (5) gap towards the intake port.

(2). The arrow stamped on the band indicates the
side that faces up, so disregard the word "bottom".
Place band around piston. Press the lever on the right
side of the pliers to open the jaws for band expansion.

b.

Orient tool so that the top of the band is positioned
between the top compression ring and the piston
crown. Tightly squeeze handles of tool to compress
piston rings. The ratcheting action of the tool allows
release of the handles after the rings are compressed.

c.

With the indent in the cooling fins facing the right side
of the engine, gently slide cylinder over the cylinder
studs and the piston crown resting it on the top of the
ring compressor band.

d.

Place the palms of both hands at the top of the cyl-
inder. Push down on the cylinder with a sharp, quick
motion to pass the piston ring area.

e.

Rotate the engine slightly to raise piston off support
plate. Remove pliers from band and then remove
band from around shank of connecting rod. Remove
piston support plate

8.

Remove shop towels from around the crankcase bore
exercising caution to keep out any dirt or debris.

9.

Carefully set the cylinder over the two dowel pins in the
cylinder deck. Push down on the cylinder until it is fully
seated in the crankcase bore.

NOTE

See

Figure 3-33

. To hold the first cylinder in position while

installing the second, install THREADED CYLINDERS (Part
No. HD-95952-1) from CONNECTING ROD CLAMPING
TOOL (Part No. HD-95952-33C) onto cylinder studs with the
knurled side down. This will prevent the piston rings from raising
the cylinder as the engine is rotated to bring the other piston
into position for installation of the second cylinder.

the cylinder head to ensure proper installation. With the
indent in the cooling fins facing the right side of the engine,
gently slide cylinder head over the two cylinder flange
dowel pins. Lower the cylinder head at an angle that
closely approximates the angle of the crankcase to avoid
damage to machined surfaces or the dowel pins.

NOTE

Thoroughly clean and lubricate the threads of the cylinder head
bolts before installation. Friction caused by dirt and grime will
result in a false torque indication.

3.

Lightly coat the threads and bottom face of the cylinder
head bolts in clean H-D 20W50 engine oil. Wipe off any
excess oil.

NOTES

For best results, use SNAP-ON TORQUE ANGLE GAUGE
TA360.

Even though all bolt holes (rocker housing, rocker arm
support plate and breather assembly) may appear to be
in alignment, the rocker housing gasket may be installed
upside down. An upside down gasket will result in an open
breather channel causing a major oil leak when the vehicle
is started, possibly resulting in engine and/or property
damage.

On front cylinder head, install side of gasket marked "front"
facing up. On rear cylinder head, install side of gasket
marked "rear" facing up.

shown.

NOTES

If the engine was left in the chassis for service, final tighten
the rear left rocker housing bolt (rear cylinder) using a
torque wrench with a 1/4 in. drive.

O-rings that are missing, distorted, pinched or otherwise
damaged will result in either oil leakage or low oil pressure.
Use of the wrong o-ring will have the same results. Since
many o-rings are similar in size and appearance, always
use new o-rings, keeping them packaged until use to avoid
confusion.

NOTE

O-rings that are missing, distorted, pinched or otherwise dam-
aged will result in either oil leakage or low oil pressure. Use of
the wrong o-ring will have the same results. Since many o-rings
are similar in size and appearance, always use new o-rings
keeping them packaged until use to avoid confusion.

1.
