For Zane

[L.B,]

Hey Zane did I misunderstand your reply to Lisas problem with hyd lift piston on 1-28-14. You said to just drive it in and it would work fine? I know as a Guru you know whats what but to force it in it just struck a cord with me when I read it? Have not done one myself what would be the normal amount of force she should have used? She found it was out of round. Had a friend who did that to the pistons in a FE block and the starter would not turn it he had to pull start it to get it to run! LOL

Not Zane, but I have rebuilt more than a couple of lifts and have not experienced a problem with the piston out of round. Maybe next person should try the piston in the cylinder without the oring to make sure it fits.

I didn't realize it was out of round????

It does not much surprise me though with all this off shore aftermarket stuff.

All the lathes and boring bars I've ever seen make a perfect circle????

From the land of "almost right"

I always test fit before the rings go on - not as accurate as measuring but gets the job done
