How about pressed wrist pins have you ever done those yourself? I think I'm gonna try and tackle it. I got some old pistons and pins to practice on I'm gonna make the jig and try it. Iv watched alot of YouTube videos it doesn't seem all that scientific. Heat the rod and quickly insert the pin before it cools and make sure the jig is offset so it centers the pin.
no. I've had the machinist press in the wrist pins. they get so little for doing it, I let them do it. Of course, if it was the floating wrist pin, I'd do it myself. And yes, there is a right way for the clip to be facing
Boring, turning a crank (I only did that once), press work (seats/wrist pins) I get done at the machine shop. All nuts and bolt assembly, plastic gaging, I do at home. Mind you, I'm not doing this for a living, just for myself when the occasional project comes up.
