Hi all,

I was taking apart my pistons/rods and two of the wrist pin bushings were sliding around independent of the connecting rod on the wrist pin. Both of the bushings were cracked into the oil hole, presumably because they slid off and things were rocking around?

Regardless, does the fact that the bushing came off the rod suggest that the rod has a problem, or that the bushing wasn't installed correctly? Are these type installed then swaged for a tight fit, or just pressed in?

I assume that under normal circumstances there is no wear of rod. But could/would a loose bushing also wear the rod?

Thanks,

don
