Richard Farrant Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) It does that in the process but not its prime function. Ah, see it now, I think. It is a process in the making of a piston, shot peening it, to toughen up the surface and also stress relieve.

The shot peening is good,but not making the piston.its part of a reconditioning process,done by AE pistons.To extend the life of the engine.

gritineye Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 On top is a piston reversing wheel ,which suggests that the shot is only applied to each side of the skirt at 90 degrees to the pin, from the inside, so is the idea to expand the skirt to make up for wear? maybe only on the thrust side. Shot may not be grit it may be balls. (wait for puns etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
