I have a new set of liners to install. I find they are quite tight when seated in the block and would have to be pressed in.
My understanding from the workshop manuals I have read is that they must be retained in the block with keepers until such time as the head is installed as turning the crankshaft can be enough to lift the liners out, especially with new pistons and rings that might be a little tight.
Without having tried to press the liners in, I doubt once they are in that they will easily slip out.
Unfortunately I do not have a micrometer large enough to check the diameter of the spigot and the bore in the block at this stage to give a quantitative view of the issue.
Any comments on how tight this should be?
