#2 Piston Pics - Got it out!!! Need feedback
 

Got the piston out. Just tapped on the rod bolt a couple of times and it
loosened up. Came right out of the cylinder, no ridge, no problem.

Here are the pics. Any feedback on the condition of this piston or what the
pic might tell you would be appreciated.

the piston looks bad, but really bothers me is the condition of that rod
bearing! that thing is junk. i would assume that all of the rod bearings
look the same...

what's the problem with the rod bearings? What looks bad about them?

It's though the babit, at least two hundred thousand miles. But as
long as none of the others are through the copper, then just buy the
same size inserts, what do they say on the back, .010?

Yes, .010

"through the babit"?

How can you tell they look "babitized"? Is it the thickness, wear?

Also, there is one that is loose and the other that's attached to the rod.
The one attached to the rod comes off, correct?


Thanks,

Re: #2 Piston Pics - Got it out!!! Need feedback
 
Oh, I think I get it. The worn area on the loose bearing is copper? I
didn't pick that up right away.

Now, what if others are "through the copper", what do you suggest?

Thanks,

Bill


I have 3 more pics. Two of the piston without rings (both sides) and the
rings separate.

I left these at a higher resolution to show detail (about 200k each).

Hi Bill,
You are color blind. Babit is the soft gray stuff we may mark with
our finger nail, that is plated to the copper plated insert.

Same suggestion I have suggested, you pull one piston and you ring
and put bearings in them all.

Is there an easy way to clean up this piston before I ring it?

Hi Bill,
Nope, I just scrap the big stuff off. And use an old broken ring to
scrap out the groves, being careful not to gouge their sides. Chemicals
strong enough to remove carbon usually eat the aluminum.
