Do you know how many hours on original pistion? Does it look and measure in spec?
On 2 strokes i replace piston and rings 95% of the time.
On 4strokes, if they measure and look good, I'd let them go alittle longer.
Thats just me though.
Have you spec'ed out the rings and piston yet? What leads you to believe it needs changing?I didn't take the head or cylinder off yet because I don't have replacement gaskets..I was going to order them with the new piston
Depends on the condition of the gasket when it comes off. I have never had such luck. The base gasket always gets frazzled.if I take off the cylinder to inspect could I reuse the old gasket??
You could, but I wouldn't. 99% of the time it's done.
Never had any luck with any gaskets.does the 1 percent mean u have before?? lol
I do not have them tools!! will a measuring tape do I can bend it around the piston lol
