Have you ever removed gudgeon pins from standard cvh pistons mate? i was told by my local machine shop that every time they have pressed a pin out from an rst piston they have cracked the skirt because they can't support it properly.... all the motors i have done in the past have floating pins and clips. Some one suggested heating the piston and lightly tapping the pin out?
Cheers
Rob,
your local machineshop shouldn't be used in my opinion, you can't simply press them out, they need heating up significantly and then they slide out easily.
muppets if they think force is the answer.
also, get H section rods, i'm starting collecting parts for my new ZT and rods are on the top of the list along with pistons and heqvy duty bearings.
doing it cheap isn't always the answer as i've found out on my zvh.
