Piston to rod assembly


I forgot to take any pictures at all when filing in the #1 and #2 piston ring to the cylinder bore or assembling them to the pistons.




I took extra care to make sure the rod bolt, piston and rod felt smooth when assembling them. Made sure to debur all the parts.





In the picture above you see (in the light reflextion) a tiny tiny scratch that came right out of the box. This is in my eye what "made in america" quality stands for. This little scratch made the rod bolt catch to the rod and piston bore. Some fine emery clot and polish later, they felt so smooth.


To the same care for all 8 pistons, rods and bolts.
