I've got new JE pistons with JE wrist pins. The thing is pins seem to be too loose. If pushed in (and turned so the pin hole points to the ground), they slide out without a help. If pushed in only in one side of the piston wall it's possible to feel a very little play. Eagle rod "holds" the pin much more tightly.
Everything was ordered as a kit.
I did a bit of a research:
Standard pin diameter: 0.8660-0.8665 " (http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=80)
According to JE wrist pin part number breakdown (http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cach...ins&hl=sv&ct=clnk&cd=4&gl=se&client=firefox-a)
and JE wrist pin list (http://www.flatlanderracing.com/jepistonpins51.html) I've got correct size pins (0.866").
I couldn't find the size of the JE wrist pin hole, so I don't know if clearance is correct (I don't think next available size pin (according to JE pin list - 0.875) would fit, though).
TSRM says you should be able to insert the pin only at 140 F temp., but that of course is for OEM pistons.
So, the question is, is it possible I've got the wrong size wrist pins?
