( 1 ) Any combination of the new pistons and the former pistons can be used in different cylinders in the same engine.
( 2 ) Any combination of the new pistons and the former pistons can be used in different cylinders in the same engine.Note: The diameter of the eye in the connecting rod has not changed.Note: Some of the parts that were used with the former pistons are still serviceable for repair. The following parts are still serviceable: 263-8955 Piston Pin, 253-1238 Pin Retainer, 214-6066 Piston Ring (Top), 144-5695 Piston Ring (Intermediate ring) and 223-6361 Piston Ring (Oil) .The 204-5447 Piston Cooling Jet As and 193-3282 Retainer As are reused with the new pistons. The piston cooling jets and the retainer for the piston cooling jets must be replaced if you are changing from two-piece pistons to one-piece pistons.
Failure to install the correct piston cooling jet and retainer will result in inadequate lubrication. This will cause piston seizure and catastrophic engine damage. Install the correct piston cooling jet and the correct retainer.
