Re: Pressed and floating piston pins

Pressed means the pins are pressed into the small end of the rod. Floating means the pins are retained in the pistons with snap rings and the rod is bushed so that the pin can move around in it. Of course, this means the rods have to be prepared for the floating pins.

Stock pistons are pressed.
