I would chime in to say be very careful with the piston skirts as they are coated with an iron coating (Ferrous Oxide) to make them compatible with the Alusil Cylinder. They would other wise wear out quickly if the coating is disturbed. The pistons would be ruined or you would have to have them re-coated, and that could be expensive...

When cleaning pistons in the block if any debris or non-compatible solutions get between the cylinder and piston it could only take turning the crank/piston assembly a few revolutions by hand even to ruin the block or pistons...One fellow on the boards here let a very small piece of hard carbon get between the piston and cylinder bore. That small piece of carbon ruined many hours and allot of expense he had in the block because he had to scrap it.

Cleanliness is next to Porscheness...er, how did that go.
