Engine Rebuild Question

Unread post by hondo100 » November 11th, 2020, 9:32 pm

I'm about to put this motor back together after getting the block, head, crank, and cam back from the machine shop. The retaining rings that hold the pin in the piston (PN 11598934), should I use new or can these be reused? I'm not having a lot of luck finding them.

Thanks

Ralph

You should be ok as long as they are not deformed and still retain a tight fit, make sure to put the gap up or down.

They are "Hen's Teeth" I lost 1 when I did my motor and ended up taking one out of a old block that lost a rod and punched a hole in the side. They do come with new piston's and pin kit.

Army Jeep Parts had them. I had to call as the website showed that part number as a pintle clip for $9,999.
