Can someone define "collapsed skirt"???
Can someone define "collapsed skirt" for me?
I am wanting to verify what my machinist told me...
He says that he wouldn't use my forged pistons in the block they were in (too much piston to bore clearance), but says he would use em in another block machined to fit, especially since I have a spare block...
The piston manufacturer says I should check for collapsed skirts.
When I asked him if he could measure to see if any of the pistons had a collapsed skirts, he said it didn't really matter because he could fit the pistons into my spare stock block....
My prior understanding was that collapsed skirts made the piston improperly shaped, hence no good....
Is he correct?
This is a new relationship with the machineist in question, so I gotta second guess him.....
Thanks guys!
