Piston: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION





CAUTION: Do not use a metal stamp to mark connecting rods as damage may result, instead use ink or a scratch awl. The pistons are made of a high strength aluminum alloy. The top ring groove is coated with a anti-seize coating. The connecting rods are made of forged powdered metal, with a "fractured cap" design. A full floating piston pin is used to attach the piston to the connecting rod (Fig. 52).
