Rebuilders: Full floating pins?

Recommended Posts

My local machine shop did the work for me. They bored the pin end of the rod for a brass bushing which would accept the piston pin (had to be special ordered for my pins) and drilled a hole in the top of the rod into the brass bushing to allow oil to enter, so the pin would "float" on a cushion of oil. I am not sure where to just purchase the parts, since mine had to be special ordered by the machine shop.

The machine shops I use were not able to find bushings for my rods so I sent them to JB Racing (Central Florida Race Shop) and Jim Higgs there pressed in bronze bar stock, then bored the pin holes in that, essentially building a bushing right into the rod, then drilling the oil holes. This was pretty expensive (about 50.00 per rod) so I think you should find a shop that can locate the bushings already made.
