thanks for the good advise. my machinist recomended doing the floating pin way. thats how he prefers to do it. I am pretty sure the rods are already bored to accept the pins. So i hope it will be fine. thanks
The stock "ly" Rods only require a "light hone" to full-float, no "Boring"
maybe about 20-30 Minutes including Machine setup ?
VERY cheap to do THAT way ?
They are usually -.001" to -.002" interference stock, opening them up to .001" CLEARANCE to full float... so only .003" to Hone does not take very long.
No Offense, IMO
I just still think it's a BUNYAK way to do things, because I can see NO advantages, with only "potential" pitfalls ?
