Hi. I was searching in the internet for some answers and found this:
Pin types article .
This article talks about fixed pin, semi-floating pin and full-floating pin. When you mentionated floating pins you were talking about something like the full-floating in the picture?
But we are talking about pins, pistons and I begin to think that the Connecting Rod is different for full-floating pin and fixed one. Am I right? Maybe the full-floating Connecting Rod has different clearances for this different type of pin?
I am a little bit confused. Because I asked about Rods (bushed or pressed) and I don't know if I understood. Can I say that bushed Connecting Rods are for full-floating pins and the pressed ones are for fixed pins?
I was taking a look at the Scat Online Catalog here:
Scat Online Catalog and I found this one interesting Rod:
CHEVY 6-CYLINDER
ARP 2000 7/16" CAP SCREWS
PART# 2-250-6000-2000A
SHORT# 66000206A
ROD LENGHT 6.000
CRANK PIN 2.000
WRIST PIN .927
B.E. WIDHT 1.050
Is this part for floating pins, right?
I am really sorry, but all this information I asked here are really important to help me choosing the right piston (and pins) & rod types.
And tips about JE forged dome 250 chevy pistons for using this 6" rod are also welcome.
Thanks a lot guys!
