Lubricate pistons, rings and cylinders with engine oil during installation and use a piston ring compressor.

Verify connecting rod bearing oil clearance using Plastigage to ensure it meets specifications Apply grease or assembly lube to bearing faces before final installation of rod caps and bolts Repeat these steps for all piston/connecting rod assemblies; then rotate the crankshaft by hand checking for binding Finally, check correct connecting rod endplay, take rods for resizing if new components were installed.

Chevrolet Avalanche Piston

The piston in Chevrolet Avalanche vehicles is one of the most significant parts that translate the energy of combustion process into the power necessary to propel the car. An important component of internal combustion engine; transforms pressure exerted by expanding gases into mechanical force that propels a car. Usually, Chevrolet avalanche pistons are come from aluminum alloys for their light weight and strong because of the high pressure and high temperature variation is encountered within the cylinder. Chevrolet Avalanche vehicles over the years have employed various types of pistons. Trunk pistons typical of petrol and Diesel engines bear side loads, and feature oil rings beneath the gudgeon pin. High-speed petrol engines use slipper pistons to reduce the weight of the reciprocating mass as well as improve the balance and mechanical efficiency of the parts. These design variations help assure that the pistons used in Chevrolet Avalanche automobiles provide exact rates of operation and dependable sturdiness.

Each OEM Chevrolet Avalanche Piston we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
