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

Re: Aftermarket pistons on stock rods?????
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.
