Engine guru's....454 pressed pin depth?
I'm putting new pistons in my 454. They are going to be press fit, but they also have grooves and clips for a floating pin set up. It seems like I should be able to put a clip in one side of the piston, and use that as a "stop" for installing the press fit pins. Can I heat the rod end.... use the clip as a stop and then remove the clip when cool, or will this cause some problem, or miss alignment that I'm not aware of?
Thanks for any help you can give!
