You are correct. I did take some measurements on the new piston and it matched the old piston well. The piston I took out of it had some deep scuff marks on the intake. I am thinking dirt or carbon got stuck. There was also some scuffing on the exhaust side as well. All marks where on the pto side of the piston. Would a new piston effect it that much. Will the heat cycles over time distort the cylinder.
