Subject:Re: 2.1L Wasserboxer for sale

I've just removed the passenger side head on my 85 wasserbox and
accidentally took the cylinders along with it.  Has anyone ever
successfully installed cylinders over the pistons while they are still
in the engine.  I almost had the first back on just using my fingers,
but the oil ring is just a bit too strong for me to hold in the
compressed position.  I was thinking there must be a simple too I could
make such as cutting up a can or so.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
