Re: mine started thursday

Had the wrong piston so not a lot happened!! Been to change it this morning and they didn't have a new correct one so I have a second hand one. It has a bit of a groove on the lower side of the piston. Should I just file it off or shall I wait til the new year and get a new piston??? Wanted to go away for christmas on the boat???

Re: no

Sure sign of piston slap due to worn rings and a risk that it's oval due to wear !!
also the ring grooves will have wear .
Get the right one or pay later .....
