Not much attention is usually given to the piston pin clip, but it pays to make the right choice. Even if the assembly/disassembly of the C-type is a little more fiddly than with a piston clip with a nose (G-type), the quality-conscious screwdriver or tuner should not only reach for the C-type for racing engines. With the frequently used G-type, the mounting nose, already weakened by the bend, can easily break off and cause cylinder damage. This is often due to vibration fractures. In addition, migrating piston pins, which are usually slightly milled, tend to press against the mounting lug on the G-type and loosen it. The C-type cannot be loosened by piston pin wandering, nor can it break. The advantages are therefore obvious.
When installing, please make sure that the clip groove is clean and the clips are properly seated in the groove. We recommend setting the opening of the clips against the running direction of the piston during installation.
