kevin in okinawa reacted to Betsy's post in the thread 12H-T: Are pistons and piston rings with +1.00 mm diameter available in good quality? with Like.
Hello, I had to completely disassemble my 12H-T because the top piston ring groove on all six pistons was flared (ring on piston #3 even broke). Pistons in the first oversize (+0.50 mm) are already installed in the engine. Since the cylinder No...

I strongly suspect it's a press fit. Getting a new one in your hands (or finding a pic) should confirm. Getting the bit in the block out will be the hard part... force a pointed punch between it and the block and then fold it in on itself?

Along with the transmission and t-case swap I'm fixing an oil leak that emanates from the rear plug behind the bellhousing. I've sealed this before with black Permatex and this worked for a few years. The rear motor was original, 36 years and...
