Default Aftermarket pistons on stock rods?????

How hard is this to do?

I know most forged pistons are floating and the stock rods are not.


Any suggestions on this?




Would the rod need honing on one side etc?




Thanks

the way i have seen this done is buy putting a bushing in the small end of the rod and honing it to size. I am not sure if you can just hone the small end of the rod bigger and get away with it or not.

take it to a machine shop and have the pin pressed in.
