What if some of the debris gets in the piston?

Updated: 4/28/2022

If it is metallic use a magnet to fish it out through the spark plug hole, if it is just dirt or liquid crank the engine with the spark plug out and the compression will blow it right out. Larger non-metallic items that might damage the piston will need to be removed with a telescoping three pronged grabber tool available at the parts store.

How much clearance is allowed from the piston to the cylinder wall on a 2000 YZ 125?

Well...... you need A LITTLE bit of clearance for the gas mixture to lubricate the piston and cylinder. Plus your piston expands when it gets hot.

How much force will the force will the larger piston experience compared to the small piston?

The force on the larger piston will be greater than the force on the smaller piston. This is because pressure is the same throughout a closed hydraulic system, so the force applied on the smaller piston gets distributed across the larger surface area of the larger piston, resulting in a greater force.

Why do 2001 Pontiac firebird engine won't turn off in the off position?

You probably have after-ignition, usually caused by operating with dirty fuel. The way a mechanic explained it to me is that there is (very small) debris in the cylinder, on the piston. When you hav edriven enough that the engine gets to a good tempertature and turn the engine off, the debris (if it's large enough) is red hot and causes any small amount of fuel to ignite, thus causing the piston to go down, thus causing more gas to come in to the next piston ready to fire, debris is hot, and it just goes on and on. Seek the advice of a knowledgeable mechanic or get Chilton's mechanic repair book and check the trouble-shooting section. In short, my opinion? bad gas, my friend. Change gas stations.
