ok first off i did try to use the search engine it kept telling me that ls was to small of a word. oh well here goes.
first off my bottom end is at the shop so in mid work i decide to swap out the a6 rods for LS rods. what a great idea yeah. lol.
so i was told first to open my wrist pin hole on my P29 from 19mm to 21mm but after talking with Tom @ Aria piston he explained to me that doing that to a cast piston would be the worst thing to do cause it would convert my nice rebuild engine to a huge paper weight. so that idea went right out window.
now i readed on HMT on the process on making some.

but i'm too lazy to make these at work for the simple fact i do have acess to a lathe and i do use it but i feel i'm not experience to do this job. so i went to the crower web page and found some bushing on order #90926-1.
now here is where it gets a bit over my head but i'm trying to understand correctly.
if i buy these bushing which are .827" and the I.D. of my LS wrist pin journal (should be .827") do i have to buy anything else to make this combo work?
