^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
From your business name, I assume you know something about engines. So my
question is not a challenge, but a request for an explanation. The OP says
he pressed the wrist pin out of the rod end, and now needs to reinsert it.
You certainly can't have an interference fit in both the piston and the rod.
So why would you have to heat the piston?


He meant the rod, I bet.
Sunnen makes a small heater for rods
