How to get Pistons off Rods?
Hi guys,
My project is coming along nicely, got my 492 heads nicely ported, now comes the second load of shopping:
What style pistons should I get for regular, lightly tuned road use? I'm going for hyper, 4.060 bore, coated skirt, 2 valve relief flat top ones.
But how the hell do I get my old pistons off my old rods and the new ones back on? How do you "float" pistons? What is easier to do and what lasts longest? What about these snap-ring fits? Is it better to use press-fits or floating? Is there a difference between floating and bushed? Never thought of problems that might occur when changing pistons, but I definitely want to get that CR up to match my cam, got 18cc dishes at the moment
Thanks for any help on dismantling the moving parts,
