Hello any thoughts anyone?

My poor 1.6 petrol 2000 multipla has been having a bit of a hard time. Overheated twice but the head seems fine. Just about to rebuild her but the top of no 4 piston has got a nick out of the side and left a small deposit on the cylinder :mad: which has come off with no damage.

Do I need to get a new piston?

Can I repair it?

Should I just put her back together and see how the pressure is?

I'm a bit flummoxed :confused: any help or hints most welcomed
 
as long as the nick has not gone down to the first piston ring then it should be fine.
 
Thanks Gavlar

What if I can just see a very little bit of the ring?

Will that mean a new piston
 
seeing the ring is fine but if that nick has gone the back of the ring then there'll be a loss of compression. Pop a photo on.
 
Thanks, I've decided to put it back together and then do a compression test, see how it fires and take it from thers, Cheers :D
