"My wrist pin clips aren't in the right direction, my engine is defective." When the more informed try to explain it, the customer thinks they are being lied to to save the sale and the snowball keeps rolling downhill from there. Then guess what happens? The LHS or manufacturer gets a call. If misinformed information is given and only one poster backs that up in the eyes of someone new that can relate to being the gospel. Most of which are new to R/C or new to Nitro or engines in general.

The proper way to install a circlip is to position one end of the clip in the groove with the other end at 30deg. But, if incorrectly installed, severe cylinder damage can result. Wrist pin locks are spring-type fasteners designed to provide an interference fit in a groove machined at the edge of each pin boss on the underside of the piston. when its pretty much all the way in, continue pushing the rounded butt end into the bore. The wrist pin is held in check and kept from scratching the cylinder by a spring-loaded lock on each side that secures the pin between the pin bosses. use your other hand to cover the area in case the clip pops out. with the gap facing away from you, firmly push the clip into the groove at about a 45 ° angle with your thumb(s).
