I think I got sent the wrong pistons in my parts order.I just picked up my new rings,pistons and bearings for my 01 SRX and checked the pistons on my way home yesterday;I think I got 98/99 pistons and the only reason I think this is because when I replaced the pistons in my 98 a few years back I used 01 pistons because they're factory coated,and the ones i got in my order don't have any coating on the skirts,only from the dome edge to the bottom of the ring grooves,like 3/8 of an inch the whole way around the piston.I'll admit it's been a few years and my memory isn't great but wasn't the factory coating on the 01 pistons on the skirts?I can't for the life of me remember how the ones I put in my 98 were coated,and I know for a fact I ordered 01 pistons for it and my recent order for my 01.I will have to get the part number off the box and go online to check it out.

I have 3 01 srx engines here and I cant see any coating on the skirts.
they were never coated on the skirts from yamaha only on the ringlands.
Ok well then I must've been thinking about something else,thanks for clearing that up for me guys.
