Wrist Pin Keepers...what do you use?
I'm pulling the pistons soon to decarbonize and re-ring, and I realized I'd need to replace the keepers. I've got 1.8L Mahle jugs and pistons, standard T4 wrist pins (24mm right?), and the keepers that're there now are Truarcs. So, go with Truarcs, or spiral wire keepers, or what? Never been in this spot before, just having to replace keepers, usually I have to do a full-up replace-everything overhaul on the cars I buy, and the keepers come with the pistons.
