Which way does the arrow on the piston face?
pistons allways face to front of engine cranksfaft pulley side, piston marked with arrow face the pulley
How do you free a stuck rear brake piston on a 90 Isuzu trooper?
The piston is not stuck. It must be rotated to retract it. There are two depressions on the piston face. Use a pair of needle nose pliars to turn the piston clockwise to retract it. Turn it until the face of the piston is flush with the boot.
The upper face of a piston assembly is called?
Crown
How do you push the front caliper piston back after changing brakes on vectra?
Use a "C" clamp to collapse the caliper piston. Use one of the old pads across the face of the piston. If you use the clamp on the bottom of the piston it is possible to crack the piston. Using the old pad spreads the pressure to both sides of the piston. That is if the piston is a cup. If it is solid on the face then it screws in, but I believe this type is only used on the rear brakes of cars.
If the piston on the rear caliper screws in and out and the pad has a nipple that seats in the piston notch how will the piston twist its way out?
The piston doesn't twist it's way out. There is a ratchet screw adjustment that takes up the slack behind the piston. Screwing the piston back in resets the adjustment.
How do you get the piston top die center?
it's when the piston is all the way up
How do you push the piston in on 1999 Honda accord rear brakes?
A c-clamp or it may be a screw in/out type. do not over extend the piston if it is a screw type. The screw type usually have a grove/groves on the face of the piston where a piston tool grabs on to. This tool is not necessary but it makes life easy. Available at any autoparts store. A c-clamp or it may be a screw in/out type. do not over extend the piston if it is a screw type.

How do you check the engine pistons of a 1998 Saturn SL1?
The only way to "check" a piston would be to remove it and visually inspect for damage and wear.Make certain that the piston is not cracked or otherwise damaged.check the ring grooves. Use a piston ring and a set of feeler gauges to determine the amount of wear. Excessive ring groove wear can result in piston failure and if the piston shatters, it can cause the engine to fail completely.Next, use a micrometer to determine the difference in the diameter of the piston between the top and bottom. The piston will wear and if the difference between the top and bottom is too great, the engine will exhibit "piston slap".Check the fit of the wrist pin, it should be tight.HOWEVERYou can run a compression test and get a good idea whether the piston is functioning somewhat correctly.
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.
How do you find the marked face of the piston ring?
The compression ring will have a dot or indentation marking the top of the ring .
Why engine cease?
engines cease because, it is our misconception that the cylinder of the engine is cylindrical,in actual the cylinder walls are slightly slanting. and th diameter of the piston is a bit less than that of the cylinderwalls,which is known as clearance,,which is formulated for the smooth running of piston,,but when the temperature inside the cylinder increases above a certain level,the walls of the cylinder and the piston expands.but the expansion ratio is different for both,,as the cylinder is made of cast iron and piston with aluminium,which decreases the gap to certain level that there is no movement of piston,which is called as ceasinf of engine.
What if your jeep only blows blue smoke at a certain speed?
blue smoke is an indication of oil burning. Sounds like your piston rings are wearing out, or your valves, either way it's time for a rebuild.
