TL / TR engine pistons
« on: April 11, 2014, 01:45:16 AM »
Hi All
I have a few TL engines to rebuild, will TR pistons be any good (same bore) and whats the story about 3 and 4 ring pistons? when  3 ring piston used are the cylinder bore clearances reduced or are they just used in higher speed engines, any help would be great

To my knowledge all replacement pistons have been 3-ring and we always used the same book clearance values. Same unit used for both TL and TR.

To my knowledge, that is affirmative. These are normally supplied and sold as assemblies though. When you purchase a new piston, it comes with new rings.
