Rotating the crank without the head (and not locking the liners) causes the seal around the liners to be disturbed and you then have to remove them, re-seal them and refit them.

Just slightly more work when putting it back together... (Without the seal oil and water can mix giving HGF like symptoms)

Last time I went that far into rebuilding a K Series engine was when the pistons were smashed and I replaced the liners as well... full overhaul
