Circlips can lose their tension or become deformed during removal, which could lead to catastrophic engine failure if they slip out during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I ensure these are installed correctly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always ensure the circlip is fully seated in the groove of the piston pin bore. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers or a dedicated circlip tool to avoid over-stretching the clip. Once installed, rotate the clip slightly to ensure it is locked securely in the groove and not binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Are these compatible with standard 196cc clone pistons?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e These specific circlips are designed exclusively for Tillotson 72mm pistons. Please verify your piston bore size before ordering to ensure a proper fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why is it important to use OEM Tillotson clips?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM parts like the Tillotson #138220008 are manufactured to exact metallurgical specifications to withstand the high heat and RPMs of racing environments.
