Floating wrist pins are free to rotate in both the rod and the piston, and are usually secured by C-clips in the pistons. Pressed-in pins are a tight fit in the rods, and that is what holds them in place. The floating pins are more expensive to make, so are not popular with the automakers. The floating pins are better, but not enough better to convince the beancounters.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
