Faztbullet, they are Parsen? I hope I don't regret them.
Timguy, yes the top ring only is, tapered or chamfered.
Racerone is correct about the Ringling area being smaller diameter than the skirt. When we machine the pistons, the DN (diameter nominal) is measured at a specific distance up from the bottom of skirt, or register. The other dimensions are relative to DN. Most all pistons are machined with ovality, egg shaped sort of, at specified points, and sometimes Ringling area has ovality. Sorry getting off on a tangent.
I put the crank shaft in and started to attach rod end cap on one cylinder. First off I don't have an end clamp specialty holder. I seen one on Ebay for about 300 bucks. Do I need one? I'm getting worried at this point that I won't get them mated properly. What is a good way to aproach this with out an expensive clamp that I'll never use again?
