I think I know the answer but hopefully I am wrong. I was installing new rings and found that 1 piston had a chunk missing from the wall (see pic). Is there any hope for this piston or is it dead.My guess is that it is trash but can I replace a single piston or do I have to replace all 4?

You do not need to replace the complete set of pistons, 1 piston knows nothing of the others. You will need a piston that matches you others though.
It will need to have the correct piston to cylinder clearance, the correct weight to match the rest and a matching dish, valve relief's, pin height and anything else that will affect the compression. You don't see a lot of single pistons for sale so it might be easier to just get a matched set. Jim |
