piston

Does anyone make a ring compressor? I am wanting to put engine back together. Is it possible to install piston with out ring compressor? Thanks Jeff

Yo take a look at the top of this piston. looks like this engine sucked up some gravel at one point in it's past life. Would this be considered shot? I've read the section on replacing pistons in the Tecumseh manual and it seems pretty easy. I would need the tool for installing the...

I bought this piston back in the day when I was playing with some 5 HP Go Kart stuff. I have since sold the Go Kart but kept one of the engines. In digging through my stuff I found this piston and cannot figure out the part number. As you can see some paint overspray managed to find the only...

Okay, I have a question that may sound dumb but what are piston stops like in the picture below used for? are they used to lock the motor so a flywheel can be removed, etc. ? or would that scuff up the top of the piston? Thanks for the help, it sound like something I should know by now but I...

I checked the ring gap on my piston rings and they were within spec . However i noticed i could wiggle the piston side to side really easy inside the cylinder! I replaced the rings and now the piston is nice and snugg within the cylinder. The old rings were thin and brittle. Even though...

Hello new to this forum, I have a few quick questions. I bought a billet rod from ARC and want to install new rings also, well I'm not sure if I have the 1mm or the 1.5 mm thick rings. Then I noticed the low tension rings and wanted to know how thick those are if I can use them in my motor?. I...

I have a 50cc 2 cycle engine that someone left the head off of for years and it rusted the rings in place. I have the head loose and raised off the block a bit so I know it's just the piston, not the crank. I filled the top half of the cylinder above the piston with Evaporust and let it sit...

hello my friend brought me a Yamaha generator to rebuild, however he brought it to me in a big box completely disassembled. he has a new piston ring set, my question is there is obviously 2 compression rings, one is black with a yellow marker on it stamped with an "R" the second is chrome plated...

Is it possible? I am just curious because I read the bore size was the same. This is me just trying to be cheap and not spend money on a new one.

I installed a billet rod an a wiesco flat top piston 2.756 standard bore an a dyno cam when installing piston the 2 oil rail rings in the oil expander ring droped in pretty easy, top compression ring I had to use a pop sicle stick is it normal for the first set of rings to go in no problem...

Hey guys i went to install the rod that cam with my hop up kit. Well it will not rotate freely. the bottom bolt ends up hitting this gear.. What is this gear for.. I would assume balance?

has anyone had any experience with this piston I just got one in for my blue greyhound 196cc clone and have searched a lot and the only thing I can find is that I should stagger the rings 120 degrees... ok got it. but the two top rings (the thicker ones) neaither one has a lip like I am used to...

Got a brand new 212 Predator that I tore down to replace stock rod with an ARC billet. Does any of you guys know where the piston ring gaps should be clocked on the piston before I install into the bore? I know they should be staggered but where on these engines is my question. Thanks

I got this off of a fellow member here and Just don't seem to be able to come up with a good I/C block for a fair price so I am offering it for trade. Horstman H beam stroker rod with bearings and a piston and rings for an I/C Motor (I will see if I can get the time this evening to take a rough...

Hey guys I bought a honda ut1 flat top piston and thin rings will this fit in my predator 212?

Like a few others, I am addicted to looking in CL for old Briggs 5hp FH's for cheap. Over time, I have acquired more than I need but keep looking anyway. They usually don't run and can be challenging to fix, but hey it's fun for me. It's interesting to see the different things that go wrong...
