Well I searched and couldn't find any info on Wire locks, I have a set of Wisecos and am trying to install them on my rods. Here are the instructions on JEs site but I cant seem to get them in.
Install the end of one lock at 90 degrees from the pick lock groove.
Carefully rotate the lock into the groove without kinking or deforming
the lock. Firm pressure will be needed to install wire locks into
piston wire lock groove. After the first lock is in place, seat the lock
by solidly hitting the wrist pin with a brass drift pin into the wire
lock. Now install the wrist pin and connecting rod into the piston,
install the second wire lock the same as the first. Just as a precau-tion,
after final assembly of both locks we recommend hitting each
side of the wrist pin with the brass drift pin back and forth an addi-tional
time. Perform these functions on a cloth towel or soft rubber
pad to prevent damage to the piston occurs.
Not to Scale!
Anybody have any tricks? Thanks.
