-13- Abstract of the Disclosure Apparatus and Method of Packaging An Engine Cylinder Assembly Prepackaging the various components of an engine cylinder assembly as an exchange or overhaul kit is useful in servicing or overhauling a single cylinder of a multiple cylinder engine. The heretofore known devices for holding the components of the engine cylinder assembly together were primarily used with small engines where the weight of the components was sufficiently low so as to not cause any handling difficulties. The subject apparatus includes a pair of brackets which positively grippingly engage the flange of the cylinder liner and a lifting element which is releasably attached to the piston with bolts threaded into threaded holes in the piston such that a portion of the brackets is sandwiched between the lifting element and the piston. The apparatus is positively engaged with the components of the engine cylinder assembly and positively maintains the components in fixed relationship with one another. Thus, the apparatus is particularly useful in packaging engine cylinder assemblies for large engines and facilitates the use of a hoist for handling the engine cylinder assemblies with little chance of slippage between the piston and the cylinder liner.
