Fitting Pistons & Rings: Pistons

  1. Cylinder bores may not be same size. Identification of cylinder sizes are stamped with index numbers on distributor side of crankcase (on oil pan mounting flange). Index numbers are used on standard bores; oversize bores give full diameter.
  2. New pistons have identification number stamped on top of piston. This number is last digit of diameter in millimeters for standard pistons and full diameter for oversize pistons.
  3. The arrow stamped on top of piston must be installed toward front of engine. Pistons and connecting rods are available as an assembly.
  4. Measure cylinder bore and select new piston (size) to be installed. If reboring, select piston first, measure it, and bore block to fit piston.
