Wrist/piston/Gudgeon pin Circlips
I was always advised not to reuse the circlips that hold the piston pin in place as they can fail. I did have this happen on a motorcycle and you can imagine the damage. Nowhere in any book, however, does it comment on the circlips as parts to keep, replace or anything. They seem to be absent from most UK parts suppliers stock lists even though pistons and barrels are readily available. Does anyone have an opinion?
