Thanks Howard, i have read all of this and i can tell you that the rod is not going to move on the pin on the first one we did. it was a VERY tight fit on the rod. the pins fit snug on the pistons themselves though. i would say palm fit on them...but NO WAY that first pin was going to go in finger push on the rod.

the second one i did....was just as describe, fit fine by hand.

the next one....it was not going in by hand. i did not proceed after that until i could ask on the board.

i'm getting tired.....i have spent so much time/effort/money/waiting on this thing. and it is just seems to not want to go together.

i will also ask Jack about these pins/rods since i bought them from him.
