Need to replace the piston pin clips?
« on: May 05, 2012, 08:18:02 PM »
Is it necessary to replace the little piston pin clips that hold the piston pin in the connecting rod? Already snapped them back in place once pretty sure I can again, may become slightly deformed but not too bad. For so cheap I should probably just replace em' then?
