are piston rings supposed to be loose?

The rings should float in the grooves of the piston. They are meant to compress when in the cylinder. ... you can check ring end gap by carefully removing the rings from the piston and placing them squarely in the bore. use the piston to push the ring(s) down into the bore about 1" to 1.5".

We found significant play in the bearing, which can lead to a soft brake pedal. Brake rotors are held in alignment by wheel bearings. If you have a faulty or loose wheel bearing, the rotor will wobble on its axis. This wobble causes the rotor to push the caliper piston into its bore (See Image 2).

As a general rule, your ring should be able to slide over your knuckles easily, but take a bit more to come off. Turning and tugging for two to three seconds to remove your ring is actually normal. ... Your ring should fit snug around the base of your finger without any bulging or leaving indent marks.

Enginetech are a good stock replacement type piston,they are just a rebox company so the piston is actually someone elses piston,we use them all the time at the machine shop i work at and never have any issues with them,from their cast pistons to their hyper pistons they are always good without any issues and i couldnt ...

You will only need spigot rings to fill the gap between the OE hub diameter and the aftermarket alloy's center bore. That said, using a PCD variation bolt in this circumstance will not have any adverse effect and is perfectly safe.

The stock style rockers really should not just get loose. You might have very worn rockers. You should have compared the tips where they hold the valve and push rod to see if they are mashed out.

They are non-interference engines. Though I have known people with the 1.8 lumps to have bent valves when the timing belt / tensioners gave way.

The CV joint is a flexible joint so some play in the shaft is OK, but there should be no play of the joint other than its intended movement. If you hear clunking, it would most likely be a bad engine mount or transmission mount.

Confirm that the thread reach of the spark plug is the right one for your engine. Remove the dirt at the gasket seal of the cylinder head. Tighten the spark plug finger-tight until the gasket reaches the cylinder head, then tighten about ½ – ⅔ turn more with a spark plug wrench. (Taper seat: About 1/16 turn more.)

they are a very good company i wouldnt hesitate to use them.as long as your ring end gaps are properly set and you have a good cross hatch on your cylinders your fine. I think it depends what you are doing. Mahle builds a great piston but it does not feature the same forging as some of the other brands out there.

While the engine is generally regarded as very reliable, it does make a fair old racket, especially at idle. This can be an issue as it makes 'problem noises' harder to hear. Noises to listen out for are a rattle that disappears soon after start-up but reappears a couple of miles later.

Here is the email thread: Good morning Tommy and thank you for your Fuel Offroad purchase, the center bore of the wheel is not hub centric however there should be hub rings in each box that the installer can put on at the time of installation.

Poor sealing surfaces will cause the unit to leak. If the pitting or lost chrome plating is large enough, it can damage the seal, which can lead to water and debris getting into the unit and damaging the valves and piston seal. If the outside of the shock body is damaged in any way due to road debris or collision.

Yes, if your wheel center bore is a larger diameter than your hub bore, you absolutely need hubcentric rings. This is because aftermarket wheels are typically designed to fit as many cars as possible unless they are custom-made for your specific application.

No, wheel spacers are perfectly safe if installed properly and on the proper application. The most common cause for failures is not due to the actual wheel spacers but install issues; incorrect hub bore (wheel to spacer or spacer to hub), incorrect torque value on wheel bolts or lug nuts, etc.

Signs of a Broken or Loose Motor Mount Over time, it's fairly common for the engine mounts to weaken. In some severe cases, a mount can even snap. If any of the motor mounts aren't securely keeping the engine in place, it will cause problems and it can make the vehicle very dangerous to drive.

If you've got a bad ring, you'll loose air and power. That's what typically wears out first. If you can lubricate that, it'll last you a while. I grew up with lots of Nerf guns.
