Piston and Connecting Rod - Cleaning

CLEANING

CAUTION: DO NOT use bead blast to clean the pistons. DO NOT clean the pistons and rods in an acid tank.

PISTON

Clean the pistons and pins in a suitable solvent, rinse in hot water and blow dry with compressed air. Soaking the pistons over night will loosen most of the carbon build up. De-carbon the ring grooves with a broken piston ring and again clean the pistons in solvent. Rinse in hot water and blow dry with compressed air.

CONNECTING ROD

Clean the connecting rods in a suitable solvent, rinse in hot water and blow dry with compressed air.
