went by the local shop that was media blasting my pistons for me... they said they wouldn't reuse that pressure plate.

how tight should the wrist pins be in the pistons? i saw ben's video where he hammers them in with a dowel... mine take a bit of (hand) force to get them in place, but then they will slide back and forth just from shaking the piston... does this mean the pins are too worn? pistons? i don't see a spec in bently for the diameter of wrist pins or the bore holes in the pistons....
