need to be more specific on what kind of small engine to give you exact information on how to pull the piston. . . but generally you just need to pull the head and cylinder off. . . the remove the wrist pin that holds the piston to the piston rod and your piston will come out. . . now getting the new one back is is going to be a different story :) . . . you are going to have to stagger the ring gaps to make sure you are holding compression . . . basically just make sure none of the ring gaps on your piston rings line up when you put the new piston back in and oil your cylinder pretty good too helps with putting it in and with breaking in the new piston.
Remove engine, disassemble, replace piston, re-assemble engine and install. Good times!
It is just about the hardest most difficult part of an engine to replace. The engine has to come out. The head has to be taken off. The rod of the piston has to be disconnected from the crankshaft. the top of the cylinder has to have a ridge reamer operated on it to get the piston out.
If you are mechanically inclined it is cheaper to replace the entire engine
Yes, just be careful not to scratch the crank journals with the studs on the piston rod.
You don't. The only solution to damaged piston rings is to take the engine block out of the car and replace the rings.
Which piston? what's wrong. If it's a piston in the engine, you'll need a major rebuild. If it's a master cylinder or wheel cylinder piston, just replace the cylinder, it's not worth the trouble.
The piston or spring on the thermostat could be stuck.
You must replace the piston rings. That means TIME FOR A REBUILD.
your car has oil burning in the combustion chamber of your engine , need to rectify the engine block and replace piston rings
Remove head Remove oil pan Remove wrist pins and push piston up out of the head
A bent engine piston is a reference to the piston rod. The piston cannot be bent, but the piston rod can be bent.
Which engine?? 5SFE or the Turboed 3S-GTE?
