Neighbor boy has disassembled his sportsman 700 and removed the head and cylinder with the engine still in the frame. The pistons are not fully exposed out of the crankcase. He has asked me for help. I saw a youtube video with the cylinder removed and the pistons exposed. The mechanic removed the pistons, put them in the cylinder and then replaced the cylinder on the case. But he had the engine out of the frame. Do we have to remove the engine? Can the crank be manually positioned to lift the pistons so we can get the cylinder back on? If yes, how do we do that?
The cylinder looks good no scoring. The rings look good. What is the best way to get this thing back together? Would really appreciate your help.
