Pressing Piston Wrist Pins

You'd know it if you did. It's really not difficult, but you really should let the shop do it. My friend Richie says it's REALLY important to only heat the rod to 500 degrees and no more. That's what his forge is set for. It's an important enough step to get right.

We didn't heat em at all, a Lil oil... not reusing the stock pistons. Ever. They're smelted by now probably.... was a prepped block. Rats got into the building, ate the bag, and built a nest in the lifter valley.... was hot tanked, w/ a new 030 bore, new cam bearings...a Lil round wire brush ( on the battery) in the lifter bores cleaned em up really good, may have to get a silicone dingle hone. definitely need to CLEAN THE HECK outta the rest of it. I'm kinda pissed about it. That what happens when you let em sit for 15 years.
