Default 2.0 silvertop rods.....

I've done some reading about turboing a 2.0 zetec silvertop with the help of
c20let pistons. The zetec wrist pin is tight in the rod and moves in the zetec piston. The C20Let wrist pin sits tight in the piston and moves in the rod.
The holes in the zetec piston wil lubricate the pin. I asume a bushing/bearing
will supply lubrication for the C20Let pin.
If you need to modify the zetec rod to accept the C20Let pin, how will it be lubricate??? Do you press in a bushing/bearing??

Thanks for reading/helping

i'm running standard rods with c20let pistons, my machine shop fitted bronze bushes and reamed them out to 21mm, also drilled a hole in the top to lubricate the pin
