You could say that pistons are the heart of your tractor engine. These crucial components are placed inside the cylinders of the engine block which have special liners to ensure a tight fit for the piston when the rings are attached. The main reason for the piston rings are to provide an air tight seal between the piston and the liner to stop harmful gases escaping from the combustion chamber. The whole process entails high temperatures so deterioration over time is inevitable so you may need to replace your piston and liners with quality parts available from MalpasDirect.co.uk.

Common signs that you may have a problem with the liners could be that the engine starts to overheat or stalls on a regular pattern. These along with starting problems could also mean that there is an issue with the pistons themselves. Also if you notice that the exhaust colour has turned white or grey could point to worn piston rings and may need replacing.
