Default Floating piston and rod

I have CTR pistons and Eagle Rods going into my LS/VTEC setup. A problem has occured. My pistons and Rods are both Floating pistons and Rods so if I put them in the wrist pin will just come right out. Is there a way to get these to work with eachother? My local Machine shop doesn't know how to get these to work. I was thinking if we could make a lip and put like a snap ring in the piston to keep the writst pin inside.

Heh, Don't know. I'm getting a machine shop to figure it out for me but they came back and asked what was supposed to happen cause they can't do it, anyone know where I can get a good price on those "bushing with pres-in pin"
