Frequently Asked Questions
What does a .030 overbore signify for a piston?
A .030 overbore indicates the piston is larger in diameter than the standard original piston by 0.030 inches, designed to fit a cylinder that has been bored out to match this larger dimension due to wear or damage.
What are the dimensions of this Dometic piston?
This piston has a standard bore diameter of 3.625 inches and a compression height of 1.615 inches.
What is the purpose of the 'Wsl' designation in the product name?
The 'Wsl' designation typically refers to a specific piston configuration or set, often including wrist pins and retaining clips, intended for a complete assembly rather than just a bare piston.
Can I use this piston in a freshwater engine?
Yes, this piston is constructed with marine-grade materials suitable for both saltwater and freshwater marine environments, provided the engine is properly maintained.
Does this piston come with rings?
The 'Wsl' designation often implies that wrist pins and locks are included. However, piston rings are typically sold separately unless explicitly stated in the product description.
