Stihl 020T wrist pin

[MISteve]

Got an 020T to rebuild. Cylinder is good, needs rings. I noticed the wrist pin slides easy in the piston. How loose can it be and still work right?

IMHO......I would say no vertical movement.

Good to know, do not want to spend any more than I need to on it.

A slight interference fit, it should not be so loose it falls out if you turn it sideways.

It is not that loose. Thanks for the input. Waiting for my rings to get here so I can finish.
