the wrist pins have to be pressed in. Go to a machine shop.

Ok... Well, different motors are setup different ways. Your setup has specific requirements. Hard to argue with people who have built plenty of motors before, but your trying hard enough. Its easily possible to build your motor at your house.. You can press them in yourself in you have the tools as said by 98vtec. But, if you mess up.. Time to buy new pistons. Its just not worth it if your clueless, which you are because your asking us how to do it.

Most people pay a machine shop $40 or less to press them in and then take the whole setup back to the house and do the install.
