Q:
How should the piston be guided into place on the crankshaft journal for the 1985 Nissan 300ZX? Posted by Customer
A:
Carefully tap the top of the piston with a wooden hammer handle while guiding the connecting rod into place on the crankshaft journal, maintaining downward pressure on the ring compressor to prevent the piston rings from popping out.

Q:
What is the first step in removing the pistons from the engine for the 1986 Nissan 300ZX? Posted by Customer
A:
The first step is to use a ridge reamer to completely remove the ridge at the top of each cylinder, as this is necessary before the pistons can be removed.

Q:
When might new pistons not be necessary for the 1984 Nissan 300ZX? Posted by Customer
A:
If the pistons show no excessive damage or wear and the engine block isn't rebored, new pistons may not be necessary, as normal wear appears as even vertical lines and slight looseness of the top ring.
Posted by NissanPartsDeal Specialist
Q:
How should the piston/connecting rod assembly be inserted for the 1993 Nissan Maxima? Posted by Customer
A:
With the notch on top of the piston facing the drivebelt end of the engine, gently insert the assembly into the number one cylinder bore and rest the bottom edge of the ring compressor on the engine block.
Posted by NissanPartsDeal Specialist
Q:
What should I do after removing all the pistons for the 1998 Nissan Maxima? Posted by Customer
A:
After removal, reassemble the connecting rod caps and bearing inserts in their respective connecting rods and install the cap nuts finger tight. Leaving the old bearing inserts in place until reassembly will help prevent the connecting rod bearing surfaces from being accidentally nicked or gouged.
Posted by NissanPartsDeal Specialist
Q:
What signs indicate potential overheating or abnormal combustion in the piston for the 1993 Nissan Maxima? Posted by Customer
A:
Signs include scoring and scuffing on the thrust faces of the skirt, holes in the piston crown, and burned areas at the edge of the crown. These issues may indicate overheating or abnormal combustion, which requires checking the cooling and lubrication systems.
