This is going to sound like a really stupid question but i just want to 100% sure... when i got my pistons etc back from the machining workshop they gave me a bag that had 2 pairs of circlips for each piston in it. I'm pretty sure that this is only because it has the old circlips and the new ones in it, but i wanted to make sure that there is not actually supposed to be 2 circlips installed on each side of each gudgen pin??
Not if you are Using ACL pistons, They have 4 circlips per piston, two each end, and bastards to get in. See this thread http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=276662&highlight=circlips
