Just curoius are the the wrist pins pressed into (and out of) the rods with the rods cold or heated? I want to remove a set of pistons (they're not being reused) from my rods and possibly installing the new pistons myself. I've done a little research and found some information about installing pistons on the rods by heating the rods on a Ford bulletin board so, was wondering if it's safe to press the pins cold (to remove them) or will it gall the rod ends? I mean how do they do it at machine shops?---------Hans
