Fitting Pistons

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE: Pistons and connecting rods are machined to tight weight tolerances and need not be sorted in any way.

The piston and cylinder wall must be clean and dry. Piston diameter should be measured 90 degrees to piston pin.

Cylinder bores should be measured halfway down the cylinder bore and transverse to the engine crankshaft center line. Refer to Engine Specifications. See SPECIFICATIONS . Pistons and cylinder bores should be measured at normal room temperature, 21°C (70°F).
