This is a method of fastening the rod to the pin in which the pins central portion incorporates a fully or partially formed circumferential groove.

This is accomplished through processes such as electroplating, in which the small end bearing journal is electroplated with a suitable metal, or by inserting a sleeve bearing or needle bearing into the eye of the small end, which is provided with an interference fit with an aperture of the small end. WebOne way to reduce the major thrust side load is to offset the pins centre away from the cylinder bore centreline and towards the major thrust side. My main point is, from all the posts I have read on this forum there is a basic complaint appearing. Cold the piston should really just nip the gudgeon pin enough so it cannot be pushed out until piston is heated up.The pin should be totally free to move in the rod otherwise there would be no reason to put an oil hole in the little end .
