Just got the pistons out of my '89 Jetta NA to do re-ring and
bearings, and the
ring side clearance on one of them is out of spec by about .001'' - the
rest are
within spec. The bad one also has a bit of the top of the piston burnt away
along the front edge, no more than 1mm deep.
Can I replace this piston with a new/good used one? or is that a Bad Idea?
Bentley seems to indicate you can, as long as it is of the same weight class.
