    I also prefer the Teflon Glass filled Buttons, I have had some issues with cir clips in one engine, I always install them burr side out (smooth side against the wrist pin!) Actually had one come out pin nailed the liner, wasn't nice, I do drive the bejeezus out of my street bikes though, With buttons you dont have any worries assuming the rods are straight!!! Mike

        The engine building secret is this. the opening of the circlip HAS to be located at 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock PERIOD.

            Every now and then I see/hear comments that the buttons may cause glazing of the bore walls in long term street use. I wonder if there is any truth behind this?

                Not with Teflon buttons. I've seen issues with aluminum buttons if the pin got stuck to one side & wouldn't move.
