The piston wears as well as the rings. Once the piston starts to get loose, it starts to slap back and forth in the cylinder, rapidly wearing the cylinder plating. Before you decide that you don't need a piston, slide it into the bore and measure the clearances at the skirt with a feeler guage. There should be no more than 002"-.004" clearance. If the clearances are greater than this, it is time for a piston.Originally posted by RM250Rida
I dont see how the piston can be affected. The only part touching the cylinder is the rings, right?

Is a scrotch brite like one of those green pads?

I also got a new spark plug there and they told me I should get a BR8ES instead of a B8ES because the R (resistor) ones are harder to foul. Is this true?
