1971 Triumph Tiger 650cc Restoration Part 21, Installing the cylinder assembly and pistons

In this video, We work on the cylinder assembly and install it to the bottom end, We first start off by installing the tappet blocks and tappets and then fit the pistons and then file the rings some so they fit the cylinders properly, then next we install the cylinder assembly and pistons as a group to the bottom end and then tighten the base nuts,

That's scary I always heat the barrel in the oven first.RMM

Well acording to the book and other shops I have inquired to they just simply knock it in and out cold and don't say anything about heating it up first? So I like your thinking outside the box and I have done that in similar situations but for this I don't think heating the cylinder first for removal would do anything much as for they are both made out of the same material so the heat expansion rate is the or would be the same? Just my take on it? Maybe I will try it next time though,
