I have a cast iron, press, and I was wondering when I install new pistons on the connecting rods, What lubercation or oil do I use when I press the wrist pinn in the piston and connecting rods?

Thanks!

 

just some castrol is fine

 

Help, I can not get the wrist pins to press out... Any ideas?

 

they should come out cold but are a biotch, if not you can try heating up the small end of the rod with a torch.

when you install the new ones, just heat up the small ends of the rods and slide the pins thru and then squirt a little oil on them. make sure you face the pistons the right way though, 4 1 way and 4 the other

 

lol... I forgot, I need to make sure that the connecting rod is facing the right direction linked with the piston....

Ok. I will try to get a torch!

 

yeah man, IIRC the numbers stamped on the rods/caps should all face out when installed in the motor
