I installed my new AA piston in my type 2 bus engine yesterday and was wondering if it matters how the pistons are oriented in the cylinders? I guess I have a 50/50 shot of getting it right! Any thoughts? Thanks

Better be sure the rings are gapped to the correct dimension, yes, you did have them upside down. Check the cold clearances of the piston to cylinder wall, to make sure it won't seize when running. Measure piston's height to cylinder head clearance, important to avoid big bangs for bucks. Buy new rod bolts and torque to spec, you did measure clearance's of new bearings. Everthing is spotless clean, right ?
Easy to do things wrong, without instruction or experience. All the info is right here. https://sites.google.com/site/stpsgarage/Te...ndersforinstall https://jalopnik.com/heres-what-happened-in...kswa-1819961495 |
