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.

Where does the debris in a water whirlpool go?

In a water whirlpool, the debris gets caught in the swirling motion and can become concentrated in the center of the whirlpool. Some of the debris might get carried downstream with the water flow, while heavier items may sink to the bottom.

Piston for sure gets better milage unless you have a V8 or higher. Rotary drinks its gas.


What happens if water gets in lawn mower engine?

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.


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.


What is the piston crown?

Is the dust cover needed for the transmission?

Yes it is needed to keep road debris and excess water from getting in or near the totque converter seal. If debris gets in there you will have a large leak.
