Hell I took mine off (cylinder) and placed back on several times during the course of my engine build (due to MRE once again ) for the cylinder decking was milled more than promoted/disclosed....
So install, found the problem, remove & installed measuing decking, removed for dual base gaskets, installed & remeasured, continue... After a while, not a biggy, a little time and patience insuring rings are in the correct orientation, a little at a time and they pop into place... After a few times you'll be accomplishing like a pro...
Oh yeah, through in afew F bombs as well but that doesn't add any time to the process..... :laugh:

i always do it by hand i start with the center two and when they are in all the way i go to the outside i use a pair of bamboo chopsticks to manipulate the rings DONT ever use screw drivers or any thing metal as it can nick the rings.also i have a rod holder that i built out of 1/2" alluminium. it is the width of the studs in side and it suports the piston while your putting the block on.
i had a guy at work make the piston holders they show in the manual.....they seemed to be about 2" too short......
