Precision piston pin for GF40 series

Designed as an RC-scale replacement, this piston pin fits the GF40 engine family and is the cylindrical link between piston and connecting rod on glow engines. The product is presented by model number only and should be treated as a component for regular servicing and repairs.

Practical assembly advice: check the pin fits flush in the piston bore and the rod small end, confirm retention devices such as circlips are correctly seated, and remove any swarf prior to installation. Light lubrication during fitting helps prevent scoring; do not press the pin in with excessive force.

From a tuning perspective the pin influences lateral clearance and alignment within the piston assembly. Proper seating helps maintain compression uniformity and limits wear at the piston-to-rod interface, supporting consistent engine response during setup and inspection tasks.

The pin sets alignment and limits side play in the piston assembly, which in turn helps stabilise compression and contributes to predictable engine behaviour when adjusting settings.
It is specified for the GF40 series; for other engines verify size and fit before attempting to use it as a substitute.
Ensure parts are clean, use minimal lubrication during fit, secure retainers fully, and confirm the assembly rotates freely without lateral movement after installation.
