I got a set of pistons with the i beam rods pre-installed....well I am upgrading to the eagle h-beams and would like to sell the i-beams to free up some $$$. Do I just take off the side clips near the wrist pins? Any special tools needed....can they be reused (everything is new)? Thanks ---

 

are they full floating? If so, then just take the pins out, and pin should fall out. If they are pressed, youll have to take it to a machine shop to have them removed

 

DAMN, they are pressed ---


Now would be a good time for me to figure out what the difference is between bronze bushed vs pressed (luckily my h beams are bushed, is that normally considered "better"?) ,thanks ---

 

bushed means the wrist pin will rotate inside the rod,( full floating)and are held in by a clip, pressed are pressed, or wedged inside the rod. If you are going high rpm, bronze bushed is the way to go. Its used on high performance engines. I think most h beams, if not all, are bronze bushed

 

what you selling the i beams for? pm me a price

 

It requires some experience (as well as a press) to get pressed pins out without damaging the pistons.

but any good machine shop can do it.
