Good To Know

Q: Do I need to hone the cylinder before installing a new piston? A: Yes, proper cylinder preparation and clearance checks are recommended to ensure ring sealing and long piston life.

Q: Should both pistons be replaced at the same time? A: On twin-cylinder engines, replacing both pistons together helps maintain balanced compression and even wear.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
