What tool is used to removed a piston?
the tool you are looking for is called a piston remover, sold at every local auto zone As the rings in the piston wear on the wall of the cylinder, a ridge forms at the top of the cylinder. This has to be removed with a Ridge Reamer. It cuts the ridge down until the cylinder is smooth otherwise the rings in the piston would catch on it and the piston cannot be removed. Once the cylinder is smooth, you can tap the piston out using the handle of a wooden handled hammer. To install the piston back in, you use a Ring Compressor that squeezes the rings into the grooves of the piston. Put lengths of plastic tubing over the Rod Bolts so that you don't nick the crankshaft and tap the piston into the cylinder with the same wooden hammer handle.
What step must you perform before removing the piston from the bore to prevent damage?
Depending on the amount of wear in the cylinder, there may be a ridge at the top of it. If there is much of a ridge, the rings in the piston will catch on this and possible damage the piston. The ridge can be removed with a ridge reamer.

How do you replace car cylinders?
You don't . If it runs on gasoline you can bore out the cylinder (hole) to a bigger size and put an over size piston in it or you can drive in a "cylinder sleeve" which in effect creates a new cylinder.Diesel engines are made with sleeve assemblies that include the sleeve,a piston with pin and piston rings .Sleeve assemblies can be removed and replaced as a unit.
What is piston stroke?

What can you replace a piston with that is not a different piston but an object that is not a piston?
The general term for piston is cylinder, and a cylinder might be made to work in this application. But a cylinder used in this manner, that is, a cylindrical shape connected in a machine that is used in the same way will almost certainly be called a piston by most investigators.
Why there is rings in piston?

How do you remove piston from 80 cc moto 4 Yamaha?
to remove the piston, you need to remove the carb and intake. You will then remove the 4 acorn nuts from the top of the cylinder head and the 2 bolts on the left side of the head. You can then remove the cylinder head and slide the cylinder up off of the 4 studs while insuring the piston is sliding out the bottom of the cylinder. Also take care in making sure the piston and connecting rod do drop against the studs as it exits the cylinder. To replace the piston, simply remove the cir-clip from either end of the recessed area in either side of the piston and you should be able to push the wrist pin from the connescting rod and piston. It is recommended that you replacee the cir-clip with a new one upon reassembly. And of course, you should reassemble with new head and cylinder-to-block gaskets.
What is piston diameter?
A piston is a plunger, or a plug that moves inside a cube, a cylinder. The piston diameter is the diameter of this plunger/plug. It's a tiny bit smaller than the diameter of the cylinder the piston moves in.
