PISTON ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Whenever a piston, rings, or pin are out of
tolerance, they must be replaced.
Cleaning/Inspecting Piston
1. Using a non-metallic carbon removal tool, remove
any carbon buildup from the dome of the piston.
2. Inspect the piston for cracks in the piston pin,
dome, and skirt areas.
3. Inspect the piston for seizure marks or scuffing.
Repair with #400 grit wet-or-dry sandpaper and
water or honing oil.
NOTE: If scuffing or seizure marks are too deep
to correct with the sandpaper, replace the piston.
4. Inspect the perimeter of each piston for signs of
excessive “blowby.” Excessive “blowby” indicates
worn piston rings or an out-of-round cylinder.

out of the ring-groove.

proper installation. When installing new rings,
install as a complete set only.
