full floating wristpins vs. pressed wristpins

Pics of pin bores and locks.
Thanks Max on the tip for which way for locks to face/orient.
No oiling holes for pin on bottom of piston.
Still sitting on the fence whether I drill oil hole in small end of rod. My concern is when drilling that I may "distort" the bushing and end up needing to replace.
Also a little bit of rust on pins. Scotch brite and good?
Thanks all

Your pistons also ought to have grooves for the pin locks inside the pin bores of the pistons, near the other ends of the pin bores.

If the style of clip that gets used looks like this (see pic) there is a right way and a less right way to be installed. Look really close to how the clip is made, there is a slight contour to it's shape, put the "rounded" surface towards the pin and there for the more "sharper" edge will face outward possibly helping preventing the clip from ever coming out. Also "clock" the end gap to the 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock position, this reduces the likelihood of the clip coming out due to the reciprocating forces being a factor.View attachment 1715112503
