Piston Inspection

    CAUTION: Do not use any aggressive cleaning fluid or a wire brush to clean the piston.
  1. Carry out a visual inspection.
    • Clean the piston skirt, pin bush, ring grooves and crown and check for wear or cracks.
    • If there are signs of wear on the piston skirt, check whether the connecting rod is twisted or bent.
