Piston: Description and Operation

The pistons are cast aluminum alloy. Three rings are used. Piston pins, press fitted into place, join the pistons to forged steel connecting rods.

NOTE: All pistons are machined to the same weight in grams, to maintain piston Balance. For cylinder bores which have been honed, new pistons and connecting rod assemblies are available for service.
