Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these circlips reusable?

A: While it is technically possible to reuse circlips, it is highly recommended to use a fresh set whenever you disassemble your piston assembly. Circlips can lose their tension or become deformed during removal, which could lead to catastrophic engine failure if they slip out during operation.

Q: How do I ensure these are installed correctly?

A: Always ensure the circlip is fully seated in the groove of the piston pin bore. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers or a dedicated circlip tool to avoid over-stretching the clip. Once installed, rotate the clip slightly to ensure it is locked securely in the groove and not binding.

Q: Are these compatible with standard 196cc clone pistons?

A: These specific circlips are designed exclusively for Tillotson 72mm pistons. Please verify your piston bore size before ordering to ensure a proper fit.

Q: Why is it important to use OEM Tillotson clips?

A: OEM parts like the Tillotson #138220008 are manufactured to exact metallurgical specifications to withstand the high heat and RPMs of racing environments. Using non-spec clips can lead to pin slippage and severe engine damage.
