Title: piston groove width
Post by: zooky on May 18, 2006, 03:47:13 pm

anybody have a good standard 1.6TD piston they could check the ring groove width for me? The rings I took out were worn thin, not sure if the grooves are worn also, I dont have new rings (yet) to check the gap and dont want to buy them if I need to replace the pistons. This is what I got:
  TOP:         .071
  MIDDLE:   .079
  BOTTOM   .109
