Weisco 1168 Kit Pin Fit

[posplayr]

Dumb question are the pins supposed to float with a light push fit like stock pistion pins?

Please answer ASAP' in the middle of it.

The pins should slide in The C clips lock the pin in place. Pressed pins do not use the clips

Thanks

Got it .

Pins are loose and going it.

[first timer]

are you using stock pins? or wiseco pins?

I think wiseco uses longs pins (62mm) then stock

I had some trouble with the Wiseco pins galling the pistons. I got rid of the buttons and the Wiseco pins to solve the problem.

APE makes tool steel wrist pins that are lighter and stronger than stock or weisco.

I always use them in my KZ,GS engines. they are really excellent quality.

Update

The is was an 1168 Wesico kit for the 1100

1168cc
2.953" 75MM
10.25:1 K1168
Cylinder boring only.
Largest size for stock sleeves Includes head gasket
Comes with Weisco pins and cerclips (0.046" v.s. 0.044" for stock)

In the heat of battle, the piston, outside of the area where the pin floats, had gotten lets call it scratched from trying to get piston pins in. So when trying to push through the pin it did not appear to float. Used some 1000 grit to smooth the area and pin floats fine.

Had other issues with the MLS gasket, some self inflicted but I think this gasket was ready to self destruct as soon as it came out of the package.
