Jim, thanks for the information. I'm a bit confused. I think you mean to put the paste on the top of the piston, leaving the bottom 1/16" unpolished to run it in. Is this correct, or do I have it backwards. I want to be sure before I do it, and not ruin the engine.
Is the DuPont you refer to, body polishing compound, or another product only for metal polishing? Or is it OK just to use plain toothpaste? Whichever is gentler is what I should do, I think.
Thanks for your trouble, Jim.
