Remove the remaining carbon with a Scotch-Brite clean-
ing pad or equivalent.
Warning: To prevent serious eye damage wear eye pro-
tection during this operation.
An alternative method to remove the carbon ridge is to
use a high quality steel wire wheel installed in a drill or die
grinder.
NOTE: An inferior quality wire wheel will lose steel bristles
during operation, thus causing additional contamination.
Do not use the steel wire wheel in the piston travel
area. Operate the wheel in a circular motion to remove
the deposits.
Ridge Reamer
If required, cut the ridge from the top of the cylinders.
Make sure ridge reamer does not gouge into the cyl-
inder bore or remove more metal than needed.
Mark each piston with the cylinder number.
During assembly, the piston must be installed into the
corresponding cylinder number..
