Piston Pin: Description and Operation

PISTON PINS
The pistons have been cast and machined to one size and weight. The piston and rod assemblies are matched to weigh the same for engine balance.

The piston pin is full floating and is held in place by lock rings. Do Not switch pistons with other rods. Pistons and connecting rods are serviced as an assembly for balance.
