Product Questions (12)

Customer Questions

Will an engine flush clean my pistons?

Symptoms of failing piston rings include reduced engine power, increased oil consumption, and blue smoke from the exhaust. Regular maintenance and inspection can help identify potential issues.

How to replace engine pistons?

Replacing engine pistons involves removing the engine from the vehicle, disassembling it, removing the pistons, inspecting the engine components, installing the new pistons, reassembling the engine, and testing it. It's a complex process that should only be attempted by experienced mechanics.

Can you replace engine pistons rings without removing the engine?
