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

 

anyone?????

 

the rod and pin should be just like any other day, as far as im concerned you can do this no issue.

 

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.

 

I'm now a little worried, surely this is possible, i've seen some examples but wondered if certain brands do or do not? interested in Mahle/Arias with stock B16 rods. im sure i read an article with arias being done

 

take it to a machine shop and have the pin pressed in.
