-===== Piston ===== +===== Piston ​Slap ===== 
 +A condition where the piston, cylinder or both are worn out of round and are loose fitting. \\ This allows the piston to '​slap'​ against the cylinder walls from front to rear as it travels up and down the cylinder. ((86 HD XL FSM pg 3-10)) 
 +===== Pour Point ===== 
 +Indicates the fluidity of oil on low temperature. It’s the lowest temperature off which an oil can flow.((http://​www.oilspecifications.org/​articles/​lubrication-glossary.php))
 ===== Pre-Ignition ===== ===== Pre-Ignition =====
-A condition in which the fuel/air mixture ignites before the spark plug fires. This is often caused by carbon buildup in the cylinders/ top of pistons which can allow the engine to seem to "run on" ​ ((Haynes Sportster manual 1970-2010 pg REF*51))+A condition in which the fuel/air mixture ignites before the spark plug fires.

 ===== Pre-load (bolt-fastener) ===== ===== Pre-load (bolt-fastener) =====
 Bolt pre-load is basically the spring pressure that holds materials together that is applied by the bolt. Once a bolt is tight, it doesn’t turn any longer. You have a mating surface (underside of the bolt) touching the mating surface it is on. Any further tightening will stretch the bolt in a circular motion that adds clamp force to the mating surfaces. The amount of clamp force needed depends on the materials and application. ​ All bolts have a spring pressure limit called a point of “yield”. ​ Bolt pre-load is basically the spring pressure that holds materials together that is applied by the bolt.

 +===== Pumpability ===== 
 +A low-temperature property of oil, which determines to what extent the oil is capable of flowing to the pump on low temperatures.((http://​www.oilspecifications.org/​articles/​lubrication-glossary.php))
