The toughest piston in the world is useless if the wrist pin gives up the ghost. Here is a breakdown of what the wrist pin does, why they fail, and when to upgrade them to improve the strength of y...

Throughout an engine, clearances are critical. We often talk about things like rod bearing and main bearing clearances, but one extremely critical clearance we don’t talk about much is the wrist pi...

I have a new set of CP Carrillo pistons with 0.991" pins, fitted by CP at just 0.0005" clearance. That's fine by me. My rods are steel BBC L88/LS7s that have have all been bronze bush...

Customers occasionally question Clevite’s practice of fitting piston pins with a clearance fit in pistons for Cummins engines where Cummins uses a tight fit.

The piston pin is a key component that connects the piston and the small end of the connecting rod. Its main function is to transfer the gas force borne by the piston to the connecting rod

Efficiency of force transmission: The cylindrical shape can effectively transmit the force between the piston and connecting rod.

Uniform force: When disassembling and assembling piston rings, it is necessary to hold the handle with slightly even force, so that the disassembly pliers handle slowly contracts

The piston ring pliers are specialized tools for disassembling and assembling piston rings, mainly used to help repair workers quickly and safely install and remove piston gas rings without worryin...

Cleaning the inside of the engine: Before replacing the piston pin, it is necessary to clean the inside of the engine to prevent impurities from entering the engine.

The engine piston pin is a cylindrical pin installed on the piston skirt, which is mainly used to connect the piston and connecting rod small end, transmitting the force between the piston and conn...

The piston pin is a component that connects the piston and connecting rod, serving to transmit power and withstand impact loads.

Clamp ring pliers and retaining ring pliers (also known as snap ring pliers) have certain similarities in function and use, but the main difference lies in their specific design and application sce...
