I heard from someone that it was possible to use a piston with a wrist pin that has to be pressed in with a rod that uses a floating pin type setup, something like you have to use a brake cylinder hone and hone out the top end of the rod or something?

Has anyone heard of this? I was wondering because I'm using tuner toys rods and I already have a set of piston that are pressed pin type and I want to use them together intstead of buying ANOTHER set of pistons.

you could hone out the con rod small end to make the wrist pin a clearance fit instead of an interfearance fit. but if the piston is designed to have the pin pressed in it should stay that way.. if the pistons have some sort of clips that hold the wrist pin in place then thats a free floating type.
the question doesnt make much sence.
pistons and rods that are designed to be pressed in should stay as such, same goes with floating types.. to interchange parts on them is stupid

 

I know i'm talking about using a press pin type in a floating pin type rod, i'm not changing wrist pins.

 

so u want the conrod to float on the wrist pin... but the wrist pin pressed into the Piston?

 

blah, nevermind, I just bought some manley pistons instead of dealing with all of this stuff.
