Re: Oversize Piston Pins For V8

Hi, Joe,

Anyone else have any .003" OS piston pins for Joe? I may have a few, but not a set of eight. You can have them for the shipping if I can find them.

Another possibility is to have your STD pins hard-chromed and centerless ground back to .003" OS.

While you're at it, ask your machinist to use his dial bore gauge to measure your rod small end ID and piston ID and compare it to the pin OD. The Shop Manual calls for .0000"-.0002" in the rod.
