| Rob,
shouldn't be too dificult,
the way I do it is put the piston and con rod down from the top of the engine (no liner installed) and attach the big end bearing to the crankshaft.
The piston will now be slapping around in the housing.
Make sure the ring ends are aligned with the the pin on the
piston groove
(might be your problem)
If this is not aligned then the ring will never sit far enough into the piston groove.
With ring in the correct position slowly slide the liner over the
top whilst holding the ring in position with the pin,
because the bottom of the liner is tapered out it should slide in quite easily.
Check the ring and the piston groove locating pin.
