Exsqueeze me? How did you take them off? It should be the opposite to that, or am I missing something?

If you have the con-rods attached to the crank already, it can be a bit of a git to get all the pistons into the bores because of the rings. Try turning the crank, so 2 and 3 pistons are at TDC then slide fiddle struggle and swear trying to get those in first, then get an assistant to slowly turn the crank while you hold the cylinder, stopping the two piston you have in the cylinder from popping out, do the same to the outer pair and after much swearing sweating and many cups of coffee, it should be done!

Oh, and don't forget to thread the camchain through it's slot!
