Full floating wrist pin clearance and lube

[Will L.]

So did all the measurements and resized. 1 count it, 1 piston was in spec. 2 were barely outside spec- 2 were 0.0001 tight. The other 5 were so bad that moron with the hammer would have been needed for install on some.
These pins are Manley iirc and all 8 are exactly at 1.2203 OD. Amazing what happens with quality huh, everything in spec. Does make me wonder-if anyone has some new factory pins and a mic to measure OD. But the range on them were far enough off if the factory pins did fit the tight ones then one piston would have been out of spec loose.

Honing was with a 3 stone hone in a cordless and went super easy. Everything fits nice and I feel better. Now if only I could find where I set the retainers! Haha. I did one of those, put it here so I don’t loose them I am sure. Slowly getting more time to work on this thing.

Pop quiz: what is different about these pins and what has to be done with them?

1. One pin was the lucky chosen one from the group of eight
2. It was stood up in a corner made up of a cardboard box and umm an ammo box?
3. It was polished before 1 & 2 took place

Close?
