Piston Sleeve placement

[DAV3]

I need to know what way to place the piston sleeve in my trx .15 motor in my stampede so the ports are correctly positioned. If anyone can hellp me that would be great.!

Welcome!!

When u take off the head, there's a notch in the top of the sleeve, and a peg/pin in the block. They fit together, it's a no brainer.
When u put the piston/con-rod in, I think the oil groove in the con rod has to face the front of engine (toward carburetor)

yes,welcome! by the type of question you ask, please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about breaking in your new piston and sleeve. also, i will recomend a small amount of lube upon re-assembly so when the new parts first move they are not dry! i can go on here: replace all seals, DO NOT over tighten fasteners upon reassembly (it's aluminum!!), and use criss-cross pattern,.............more if necessary. we want you to have 3 or so more gallons of fun with your truck!

well, thanks guys, the piston sleeve had a notch and the block a pin or something in it so it worked out fine. O and btw it wasnt a knew piston or sleeve i just stripped out the first head and the glowplug wouldnt stay in. so when i pulled the old head off the piston sleeve was stuck and it came out with the head. but i fixed it and it works fine now great compression and plenty of wheely power! well, gotta go have some more fun with all these jumps around here thanks again

glad you got it all fixed up, I stripped out a head before and ended up having to get a new head. I think this was from taking the plug in and out when the engine was hot. Aluminum strips out fast when it's hot.
