Could you explain that to me step by step?
Great reply nauticstar.

Yes that is a great explanation for full floater style piston pins,but most stock pistons are press style requiring heating the small end of the rod to "set" the pin into the piston.

hey, I tried.
But just so I don't take credit, I found that off of Google.

Considering you get 250,000 miles or more out of a stock well maintained engine,press fit piston pins are fine.

I suggest you take them to a trusted local machine shop to have then set the pins in the pistons.After you buy a pin press tool,dry ice for the pins,torch to get the rod hot enough,you might realize for only one job,the investment isn't worth the trouble.Aside from that you have to be sure the rod/piston assemblies are orientated in the proper direction for the valve reliefs(if the pistons have them) and having the rods face in the correct direction with the arrows facing forward.Than be sure you have the pins set in the correct position in the pistons in depth so they are centered correctly on the pistons.

Well I think you get why I am suggesting to have a machine shop to the job.
