Abstract
A method for fitting a cylinder assembly into an internal combustion cylinder housing includes the steps of gripping the connected rod-pin-piston assembly with a gripper or clamp and lowering the connected rod-pin-piston assembly, gripped by the gripper or clamp, onto the head surface of the engine cylinder. The connected rod-pin-piston assembly is then inserted into the engine cylinder being thrust by an actuator passing through the gripper or clamp.
Claims6
A method of mounting a connected rod-pin-piston assembly in an internal combustion engine cylinder housing, the method comprising the steps of:
- gripping the connected rod-pin-piston assembly by a clamp, wherein the gripping of the connected rod-pin-piston assembly by the clamp includes gripping by fingers which are displaceable radially inwardly on and relative to a clamping body;
- lowering the connected rod-pin-piston assembly gripped by the clamp onto a head surface of the internal combustion engine cylinder housing;
- and
- inserting the connected rod-pin-piston assembly gripped by the clamp into a cylinder of the internal combustion engine cylinder housing under a thrust of a jack passing through a central hole of the clamp.
