Osara - Update.

Spoke with the Triumph mech today and he reckoned that Triumph recommend re-sealing the liners as it is difficult to be sure you don't break the seals if a liner 'sticks' to the head when you lift it off.

Obviously. if you rotate the crank at all when the head is off, the seals will break unless you can fix some kind of temporary bar across the top of the engine to stop the liners moving.

You might get away with it, but sounds like it's worth re-sealing the liners. Apparently the liners have a distinct taper at the base to make them easier to fit back over the pistons when re-assembling. Hope this helps.
