Default Need help installing piston/rod, how do I install wrist pin?

I've only dealt with arias and je pistons. Those are easy to install on rods cause they have lock rings to hold the wrist pin in place. Well now I'm installing CTR piston on some LS eagle rods. How does the wrist pin stay in place? Am I missing something? I have the pistons, writst pins and rods, but how does the wrist pin not slid out while it's in the engine?

Grooves will have to be machined into the PCT piston to accept the wire locks. I would just switch to using a forged piston with the grooves already machined. It'll be a lighter piston anyways for the same dome displacement..

there is no other way to do it if you plan on using the PCT pistons, unless you want to put them on stock ls rods.

Well I tried searching for lock rings, but I don't know what size pct's would use. Anyone know where or what size lock rings to use?
