Morning, Can anybody give me a safe temp to heat the wrist pin bore of the connecting rod for a piston install? I can't seem to find a service manual to download. I'm figuring 205 deg F might be a good start?:msp_unsure:
There's a special tool for pressing them in cold.
Yes and its no job for a novice without one. My homemade one has got the job done a couple times but its not the best. Hope Nik gets em made up soon.
mark, you're exactly right on stripping out the regular nuts!
the rod seems fine after 4 jobs.
the couplers spread the load out. a little oil doesn't hurt either.
on the last one i ran it on there with my screw gun ! once you get it moving, it goes easily.
