New pistons

Asked by GuruNJM69 Nov 10, 2019 at 09:12 AM about the 2002 Mazda Protege LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Just put new pistons and bearings including crank
bearings. When rotating by hand the I hear a pop
noise when cylinder #3 hits top and bottom. Is this
normal?

Do not think so. They are new too. Gonna swap #1 with #3 tomorrow and recheck all bearing caps and thrust washers. Have a short video but don't know how to post it.
