How to install an aftermarket piston (Standard Bore)?

I just wanted to know if there were any good sites that teach you how to take out and install a piston for a 2003 Raptor 660 or if any of you guys could help me out that would be great
Thanks

How to install an aftermarket piston (Standard Bore)?

The best thing to do IMHO is to get a factory service manual. There is no difference when tearing the engine down or putting the engine back together, whether it's a factory piston or an aftermarket one.

That being said, there "could" be a BIG difference (and usually are) in clearances from a factory piston to an aftermarket one. Go with the aftermarket spec's and you can't go wrong.
