Pistons and rod dilema
alright here is my dilema,
I have a nice set of eagle rods and I have .25 over CTR pistons. but they cannot be used together... unless I find a way to keep the wrist pin from walkin. Now I went to see a buddy of mine his dad owns a machine shop and I will see if ne can machine a grove in the piston for a c-clip and shorten the wrist pin. not i heard rumour of this costing upwards of 90$ a piston so I want to have a plan B. so I was thinking placing 2 small aluminum tack welds on the end of the piston to keep the wrist pin in. or possibly JB weling the Wrist pin in the piston. since my eagles have a floating busing either of theses in theory would work... I just don't now if i'm crazy enough to do it though. worse case senario I will use stock rods... but i just would rather use the eagles... any imput ? Kun

Re: Pistons and rod dilema
buy aftermarket pistons, or use stock rods, since your going n/a. you will not reach the power limit of the rods n/a.

Re: Pistons and rod dilema
It should not cost that much to have them machined.
