Cylinder orings

[Cox76y]

Ok,
I'm hoping someone can let me in on there trick to keep the cylinder orings in place when I put the head back on my bike. I'm worried there not going to be in the groove and I'll squash them..
Thanks

No worries Josh.

I use a little silicone/rubber grease. Give them a little lube and then gently stretch it for a bit before you go to fit them. Being a bit slacker, and with the addition of the grease it should hold it down in the recess quite happily while you position the head and drop a few bolts in.

Thanks Jakobi,
I couldn't even get then to stay in the hole using my fingers. A little heat seemed to help a lot and the grease did the trick then..
Cheers
