#132516, "RE: How to remove rod from piston" In response to In response to 8
If your going to use the factory rods for a budget build then you are going to have to have the rods heated and pins pressed in. The Factory rods dont have an oil port in the bushing area so it is a safer bet to leave them as press-fit pins.
Factory rods have held up to 19PSI, by on 2gnt'er and we really do not know how much farther he could have gone on them. Perfect reason to disassemble them and use them for a 350 and lower HP build or a 400HP test subject.
