REMOVAL, INSPECTION AND AS-
SEMBLY OF THE CYLINDER BLOCK
BDP-10A
Refer to Figure 25.
Disassembly BDP-10A
1. Tilt the BDP on its side, drain remaining oil.
Lift out the cylinder block assembly (25).
2. Remove the pistons, springs and piston seats.
Inspection BDP-10A
1. Inspect the running surface of the cylinder
block and piston ends for damage, nicks or un-
usual wear patterns. The running surface may
show evidence of minor abrasion . This will be a
normal wear. If grooved or smeared, replace with
a new cylinder block assembly.
2. Inspect the piston springs for distortion or
breakage. If necessary, replace with new cylin-
der block kit.
3. Inspect the piston seats. Residual oil may
cause these to remain stuck to the inside of the
pistons.

NOTE: To check that piston placement
is correct, push downward on the cylin-
der block assembly (38). If this results in
a spring action the block assembly has
been installed correctly. If this cannot be
accomplished, remove and reassemble
the block assembly. Place a rubber band
around the cylinder block pistons to hold
them in position during installation. Then
after installation cut the rubber band and
remove it. Check for cylinder block as-
sembly for spring action.
Assembly BDP-10A
1. Install piston seats into the end of the pistons.
2. Install springs into the pistons.
3. Install one at a time, pistons, springs and seats
as one assembly into the cylinder block.
4. With the BDP housing tilted on its side, install
the cylinder block assembly (25) with pistons con-
tacting the thrust bearing.
