I heard from Ross and this is fine.

I replaced one fairly pitted piston with an NOS. I had some trouble getting the pin in. The manual says that about a 100F difference is required for a slip fit. This is true, but the metals quickly heat each other and match temperature. Ended up having to tap it in some while it was still cold.

Anyway, lubed the bushing and it should be good now.
