Replacement Piston Head Rings
Generator Guru says:
Be sure to investigate the reason you are changing the piston and or rings. This could be due to:
- The valve clearances being out. Inspect the valves for damage and replace if necessary. (If you need the Valve settings please see "Valves (Set)" as the settings are listed here for each unit.)
- Damage to the Con Rod or the Con Rod Slip Rings. Inspect for damage and replace parts if necessary.
- Low oil preventing sufficient lubrication to the piston and rings. If the engine did not shut down when oil was low then replace the Oil Sensor, (if applicable for your unit.)
- Wrong Oil. Using the wrong thickness or type of Oil can block, increase the pressure on and break the Piston Rings.
If there is damage to the Cylinder Block, such as deep scrapes from the damaged piston, you will also need to replace this. (Please contact us if you require a new Cylinder Block and cannot find it on your equipment listing.)
