PISTON IDENTIFICATION
The piston may or may not have an identification
mark for piston placement. If the piston has an
identification mark, follow the directions for piston
placement below. If the piston does not have an
identification mark, the direction for placement of the
piston does not matter.
Note the directional and identification marks when
viewing the pistons from the top. Identifying marks
such as “F”, ! ”, "”orD must always be
positioned to the flywheel side of the engine. Other
marks are used for identification as to diameter, length
and design. Four stroke engine rings are a
rectangular profile. See text for oil control ring rail
installation. Use the information below to identify
pistons and rings:
COMPRESSION TEST
NOTE: This engine has built--in decompression
components. Compression readings will vary in
proportion to cranking speed during the test. Average
compression (measured) is about 85--90 psi @ 400
RPM during a compression test.
A cylinder leakdown test is the best indication of
engine condition. Follow manufacturer’s instructions
to perform a cylinder leakage test. (Never use high
pressure leakage testers, as crankshaft seals may
dislodge and leak).
Cylinder Leakdown
Service Limit 10 %
(Inspect for cause if leakage exceeds 10%)
Cylinder Compression
w/ decompression
Standard: 85--90 PSI @ 400 RPM
