Attention:
A tip on
your cylinder.
After our machinist bores and hones
a block or cylinder, he will rinse the cylinder in solvent. The solvent
doesn't remove all the grit from the cylinder walls. You must wash the
cylinder or block with soap and water. Also you may notice on some
blocks that metal chips fall out, meaning there are chips down in all
the nooks and crannies. These must be blown out with compressed air
before washing the cylinder with soap and water. Be sure to put oil on
the cylinders before the water dries, or it will rust the cylinder
walls.
NOTE: If You decide to do your own work, Midway Machine recommends the following preliminary work to be performed by a qualified mechanic prior to installing new pistons. If the old piston has failed, determine the cause and remedy the problem before replacing. Air leaks and/or a lean fuel mixture are the two biggest causes of burned pistons. In cases where any part of the old piston is broken or burned through, the crankcase should be disassembled and throughly flushed of any debris."
