Important Ordering Information
For best results, have your engine cylinders measured by a qualified machine shop before ordering and specify the correct piston size at checkout. Changes to piston size after shipment will incur restocking and shipping fees. Ceramic-coated or machined pistons are non-exchangeable. Accurate measurements prevent costly delays and returns.
