What are the considerations for replacing pistons in V8 engine on Oldsmobile Cutlass?

Most of the time, where engine has high numbers, original pistons are replaced since cylinder usually has to be bored larger for normal wear, although old pistons can be reused if finish honing and the condition of cylinder walls are good. The connecting rods and pistons should be cleaned in a cleaning solvent and dried in compressed air; it is forbidden to use wire brushes or any other abrasive cleaning tools on the piston. Cleaning of the piston rings should be with the groove cleaner tool and the oil ring holes/slots should be clean. The rods must be twist and bend checked and it must be inspected for nicks or cracks: any of these would be a sign that the rod must be replaced. The piston should be checked for crack in ring land, skirt or pin bosses, worn or wavy ring land, scuffed or damaged skirt and eroded area on top; if the piston is bad or has signs of excessive wear, it must be replaced. Further, the ring grooves should be checked to see that there are no nicks on the ring which may cause it to hang and therefore retard the motion of the other rings. Before disconnecting the connecting rods from the pistons it is necessary to turn aside the rods to get the degree of their difficulty in rotation all the piston/rod assemblies; if the rods are loose on the piston pins and turn round the pins easily or with little resistance then the pistons have worn and the pins is worn out and must be renewed. If there is a need to machine any part of the cylinder block like the final honing then one is most likely to find that the machinist would want to have the pistons around to check the piston to bore clearance as the bore is machined the clearance is very important and hence best to be done by the technician.

Q: What are the considerations for replacing pistons in V8 engine on Oldsmobile Cutlass?
A: Most of the time, where engine has high numbers, original pistons are replaced since cylinder usually has to be bored larger for normal wear, although old pistons can be reused if finish honing and the condition of cylinder walls are good. The connecting rods and pistons should be cleaned in a cleaning solvent and dried in compressed air; it is forbidden to use wire brushes or any other abrasive cleaning tools on the piston. Cleaning of the piston rings should be with the groove cleaner tool and the oil ring holes/slots should be clean. The rods must be twist and bend checked and it must be inspected for nicks or cracks: any of these would be a sign that the rod must be replaced. The piston should be checked for crack in ring land, skirt or pin bosses, worn or wavy ring land, scuffed or damaged skirt and eroded area on top; if the piston is bad or has signs of excessive wear, it must be replaced. Further, the ring grooves should be checked to see that there are no nicks on the ring which may cause it to hang and therefore retard the motion of the other rings. Before disconnecting the connecting rods from the pistons it is necessary to turn aside the rods to get the degree of their difficulty in rotation all the piston/rod assemblies; if the rods are loose on the piston pins and turn round the pins easily or with little resistance then the pistons have worn and the pins is worn out and must be renewed. If there is a need to machine any part of the cylinder block like the final honing then one is most likely to find that the machinist would want to have the pistons around to check the piston to bore clearance as the bore is machined the clearance is very important and hence best to be done by the technician.
