floater is not a improvement over press.. press is stronger turns the rod in to a T less your building a race engine pulling the pistons off the rods every year or less then floaters would be better for getting the pistons off fast . but then you have to worry about locks groves getting loose . bushing getting beat out . more parts to wear and fail more money to re build rods .if press pins are put in with the right press fit it takes tons of pressure to move them out of the rod . floaters are for race use or very small pins pistons
