3. The coated pistons will be serviced with the piston pin and connecting rod pre-assembled.
4. The coating material (1) and (2) is applied to the piston after the final piston machining process. Measuring the outside diameter of a coated piston
will not provide accurate results. Therefore measuring the inside diameter of the cylinder bore with a dial Bore Gauge is MANDATORY. To
correctly select the proper size piston, a cylinder bore gauge capable of reading in 0.003 mm (.0001 in.) increments is required.
5. Piston installation into the cylinder bore requires slightly more pressure than that required for non-coated pistons. The bonded coating on the
piston will give the appearance of a line-to-line fit with the cylinder bore.
