Fitting Pistons
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Dodge Sprinter. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The pistons are machined to two different weight specifications and matched to rods based on weight. All piston and rod assemblies weigh the same to maintain engine balance.
