Q: What does a top end kit include? A: A top end kit generally includes the cylinder, piston, rings, wrist pin, and gasket components for the upper engine. Confirm the exact contents listed before ordering.

Q: Can I install a top end kit myself? A: A top end rebuild is a moderate job that requires basic engine tools and attention to torque specs and ring end gap. If you are unsure about clearances, having a shop handle the install is a good option.
