Getting ready to install a new piston in my 372xp. Which way do the markings on the piston face, should the ring gap be in a certain position and what do you guys use to lubricate the piston?
Arrow pointing toward the exhaust port, ring pin located on the intake side and two stroke oil to lube the piston upon install.
Arrow on top of piston faces exhaust. Gap in rings go where alignment pins are.
Don't put the connecting rod in first.
Also, cover the case opening with a clean rag, so that if a cir-clip pops out, you don't have to tear things down again to retrieve it!
And don't ask him how he knows that!
In another thread an A.S. member noted that he called those 'Jesus clips'.
Not that you need to pray that they are correctly installed. He suggested that half the time that someone is attempting to remove or install one, it will suddenly pop out and fly by your face, causing the person to exclaim . . . .
I found that instructive as well as humorous.
