1989 Mazda 626 Piston Parts and Q&A

• Q: What steps must be taken to prepare piston/connecting rod assemblies for inspection on 1989 Mazda 626?

  A: Clean up the piston/ connecting rod assemblies prior to inspection and strip the original piston rings and reassemble them with new ones. Wipe pistons and ring grooves and do not damage. Check cracks and wear, oil return holes. Check clearances; they can be heavily worn out and need reboring and replacement parts. Check the connecting rods.
