Re: V8 Piston pin question

Well, this is a new one on me and so it was my mistake.

After conversation with Henry, it seems I sent him a set of used standard bore 374" pistons, some of which had oversized pins.

This came about because I sorted through three or four 374"s, choosing the pistons with the best skirt dimensions.

In all the years I've been pulling apart these engines, I've never seen a standard bore engine with oversized piston pins. Anyone else ever seen this?

My apologies to Henry, as I should have caught the anomaly before I sent him the pistons.
