RE: pistons

It may be as simple as install the first ring and make sure the pin is slide all the way against the first pin. If you are assembling the engine yourself. I'd assume you're past advice like this. If so,.....

Get out some measuring tools. Your wrist pin must be shorter than the inside shoulder, to inside shoulder of the grooves that hold the snap rings. If you manage to force the snap rings into place and the wrist pinis too long.It will not floatfreely.
