Reply To: Oversized Wrist Pins?

[Buccaneer]

Mumbles, it seems I have a least three options, different rods, wrist pin bushings installed
in the rod, or oversized wrist pins.

My wrist pins are .500. I Googled until I was blue in the face trying to find oversized pins
that might work, then last night I thought “metric”.

There are some 13 mm wrist pins “out there”, and the conversion tells me they about .012 oversized,
which would rid the .007 “out of round” in my worst rod.
(13mm= 0.5118110in)
Only problem is if I can find someone to perform the honing. I have some adjustable reamers,
but not sure satisfactory results would be obtained.

I’m still pursuing all three options.
I ended up ordering some rings from “Greece”…….. gave up on Dave in Pennsylvania after
trying to contact him three times.

Prepare to be boarded!
