Frequently Asked Questions
What does '+.040' signify for a piston?
'+.040' indicates that the piston's diameter is 0.040 inches larger than the standard (or original) bore size. This oversize is used when engine cylinders have been bored out to remove wear or damage.
Do I need to replace all pistons when using an oversize piston?
When re-boring cylinders to an oversize, it is standard practice to replace all pistons in that bank or engine to ensure uniform compression and performance across all cylinders.
Are the piston rings included with this GLM PRODUCTS piston?
This product listing is for the piston only. Piston rings are typically sold separately and should be purchased to match the specific oversize of the piston and the engine manufacturer's recommendations.
What is the proper installation method for this piston?
Proper installation involves ensuring the cylinder bore is accurately machined to the piston's oversize, cleaning all engine components thoroughly, and following the specific lubrication and assembly procedures outlined in your marine engine's service manual.
Can this piston be used in a freshwater marine environment?
Yes, this piston is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater marine environments. Its construction is designed for the rigors of marine engine operation.
