Piston Selection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: The cylinder bore must be within the specifications for taper and out-of-round before fitting a piston.

Measure the cylinder bore in 2 directions.
- Select a piston size based on the cylinder bore.
NOTE: For precision fit, new pistons are divided into 3 categories within each size range based on their relative position within the range. A paint spot or specific size grade on a new piston indicates the position within the size range.

Choose the piston with the correct paint color or specific size grade.
