Inspect the piston for damage and excessive wear. Check the top, ring, grooves, skirt and pin bore. NOTE: If severe piston damage has occurred, check the turbocharger and other exhaust components for damage from debris. Measure the piston skirt diameter as illustrated. Use a new piston ring to measure the clearance in the ring groove.… Read More »
Caution: Do not use the bead blast method to clean the piston. The piston will be damaged by blast material embedded in the aluminum. Soak the pistons in cold parts cleaner.
