Inspection and Repair
Pistons (10)
Carefully clean away all the carbon adhering to the
piston head and the piston ring grooves.
NOTE: Never use a wire brush to clean the pistons.
Damage will result. Visually check each piston fo
r
cracking, scoring, and other signs of excessive wear. If
any of the above conditions are found, the piston must
be replaced.
