Delkron Twin Cam Cylinder only Instructions
Congratulations you have just purchased the finest cylinder available today
for your Twin Cam engine. Thank you for your purchase and we at Delkron know
you will get many years of enjoyment from this product if you follow our assembly
instructions.
Inspect cylinder for any damage that may have occurred in shipping. Delkron
is not responsible for freight damage and all claims should be made
immediately with the carrier.
These cylinders are a cylinder kit only that means they must be finished sized
to your pistons, following all instructions per piston manufacturer’s
recommendations. Delkron highly recommends the use of torque plates for
this process. If you do not have the proper equipment please send the
cylinders to a qualified machine shop.
It is paramount proper boring & honing procedures are used. Failure to
properly finish the cylinder and or improper piston to cylinder wall
clearance will result in premature wear and or catastrophic failure.
CLEAN the cylinders with HOT SOAPY WATER. First the HOT water will open
the pores of the metal, this is important, secondly the soap will help break
down the honing oil and aid in cleaning the silicon carbide honing grit from
the pores of the liner. If possible submerge the cylinder in the hot soapy
solution and scrub the bore with a soft white towel. This step is important
and must be done. Spraying the cylinder with break clean or similar aerosol
cleaners alone will not clean the cylinder properly.
Once you have cleaned the cylinder with hot soapy water. Blow the cylinder
dry with compressed air thoroughly.
Next take some clean engine oil preferably non-synthetic and a clean white
cloth and work the bore until the rag comes out clean. Initially you will see
grey material on the rag. Work the bore until this is gone and the cloth is
clean.
Once the cylinder is thoroughly cleaned Delkron recommends checking the
deck height of the piston in the cylinder.
Install the top ring only on the piston and install the base gasket if one is
used.
For optimum performance Delkron recommends setting the deck height at
zero. This means at Top Dead Center the flat part of the piston is level with
the top of the cylinder. This should be checked over the wrist pin with a
feeler gauge and straight edge if a depth mic is not available.
