WTF?? I think you're confused loco, i have and will always respect your opinion but I think you were reading or typing too fast. Circlips keep the wrist pins in the piston which is all the top end. I lost one and it got chewed up and most of the time they fall in the bottom end. I was asking if anyone had any nice tricks to avoid splitting my cases to get the missing clip out. There are 4 I only found 3. I dont know what you mean "what do the circlips have to do with the top end?" you must have meant bottom end ???? IDK what you're talking bout loco. we need to get on the same page. Do you see what I'm saying now??? basically top end blew, because wrist pin went through circlip and I only found 3 circlips and there is only 1 place to look for the other(the bottom end, but i didnt wanna split the cases)
