i got my pins for my pm7 pistons a while ago, i decided to check them out, and the pins just slide right into the piston without a problem. no force. gravity just takes them in side of the piston and out the other. is this suppose to happen? Does the pin get pressed into the rod and thats the only thing holding the pin there? I guess it is. I've actually never bothered looking at the pin/pistons setup and how it works. Any insight would be great. thanks

 

they press into the rod and float on the piston

 

do you have stock rods?

 

yeah they're chilling in my engine right now. The manual said all pins are oversized when bought w/out them in the engine, so the rod should still press into them if thats what you're pondering

With stock rods.
