Installation of Piston
Rings
| Piston ring installation instructions. We see more then a few MYSTERIOUS broken during shipment ring problems. With hopes that we might overcome this problem, we are including some basic installation instructions to avoid breakage by the installer. 1- Remove and clean old cylinder and piston- It is best to emory the cylinder in a 45 degree cross motion from the bottom of the cylinder. Check for all rough edges and scoring, then flush with raw fuel. 2- Carefully install rings on a clean piston, take care to align the groove pin with the ring ends, turn the cylinder upsidedown and install the piston carefully down to the wrist pin hole. 3- Replace base gasket and slide cylinder/piston combo onto cylinder studs, align rod with wrist pin hole, install pin and clips. Insert cylinder the rest of the way to the case. 4- When starting for the first time, kick over gently and do not rev engine excessive until rings have worn in. It is sometimes best to allow bike to idle for a few minutes, let cool and repeat several times to allow rings to properly seat within the cylinder. HINT: A little extra 2 stoke oil will never hurt on a new set of rings. We no longer replace RINGS - broken during shipment. Thanks Staff at THEMOPEDJUNKYARD.com |
