Hate it when someone doesn't agree with your ideas dontcha...pressed in wrist pins are common,they reinforce my point instead of refuting it,the pin is captured in the piston and floats in the rod..happens with the vw engine too,the wristpin floats in the rod and is captured in the piston,,once again ,for the hearing impaired..after 30 plus years in the trade I found that speculating leads to trouble..

Ummm.
I believe that there are some pressed into the rod with the piston floating...

google it:

Here, the pin is press fit into the small end of the connecting rod.
The pin movement takes place between the wrist pin and the pin bore of the piston.

so we have, a piston floating on wrist pin pressed into rod, and a piston with wrist pin pressed into it floating in the connecting rod, and a wrist pin floating inside the connecting rod AND the piston....

All bases covered ?

1500/1600 should be 72mm length
90.5-94mm kits should be 75mm length pin

I do find oversize pins but most are too short.

no argument,all kinds of ways to skin the cat..but when speaking VW the pivot point for oscillation needed to convert linear travel to rotational travel occurs in the small end of the rod,not the piston.

(for Floridians,oscillate means move back and forth in a semi arc,linear means in a line and rotational means what your sister does on a stripper pole)

I think your understanding of what a piston looks like is slightly fuzzy.

Odd, for 35 yrs now, everytime i tear down my vw race engines, the pins just slide on out. Never had one "pressed" or seize into the piston. they just seem to float in both the piston AND the rod. Very odd..... Rolling Eyes

vwinnovator, it's funny you should say that... I sometimes come across pins which are too tight to push out with my finger, so I HEAT the piston up, and the pin gets LOOSER, but I must be crazy Wink .

yes, sometimes on high milage motors the pins are a little tight and need some persuading to get them out.

But, never had to press a wrist pin into a NEW(newer) vw style piston..

crap buildup or burr/wear pushing up a burr/bump or clip deforming the pin bpre with a burr causes that.. I personaly have not see any pins that are floting in rod and pressed in piston....unless a moron did them. just because somebedy thinks there knolageable for 30+ years dosent mean they know squat or what there looking at or talking about. Im a prime exzample I still cant figure out hpw this dam computer tv and everything else works with basicly 2 wires coming into my house and one of them is the sheilding. must be the pressfit of the inner wire or something. go figure running a performance machine shop for well over 30 years ,making $$$ racing longer than that ,and.... I dont know squat. I gess I might as well give up and go flip a pan of pancakes at jonnys place.

C'mon over, Ill show you what Im talking about...we'll work on that literacy thing too..Fact is the Vw piston bore isn't designed to handle a moving wrist pin,they made no provision for lubrication like they did on the rod end,it also explains why rod bushings wear but in most cases piston pin bores dont..The issue is a matter of resistance,the pin in the piston only has to be more difficult to spin than the pin in the rod for the rod end to do the work..

It's fun playing around, but think about the possibility that some newbie might actually believe what you say.
I have been in the business many years, and have designed pistons for many engines spanning from dirtbikes to Lamborghinis and prototype engines. You will find that there are a lot of people with much more experience than me here too.
Either you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, in which case you should just go away and get a new screen name. Or, you are trolling for attention. You got it now, so I'm leaving this thread.

This Wiesco also has oil holes, you have to look into the hole to see the oil holes!
