Put the pistons is a pot of warm oil on the stove. They will expand enough
to allow the cool wrist pins to slide into place.

Subject: Piston Pins - putting them back in?

My friend got the pins out (amazing what a bored
hippie can do with a bolt, pry-bar, and an
unsupervised hour), and with the difficulty getting
them out, is there a trick to putting them back in?  I
don't want to beat on these any more than necessary...

A long dowel and a mallet?

Thanks

Mark
