Floating piston pins vs Pressed piston pins

Hey Everybody,
This is a quick Q&A based on questions I have received from some of the younger viewers out there. All about full floating pistons and connecting rods, and how they compare to the standard press in style.
I hope you find the video informative, interesting and maybe inspirational.
As always practice your skills and turn them into craftsmanship. You never know how far they will take you.
Thanks for for watching.
Until next time....
This has been Fab Race Mod Repeat.

As someone going through school and studying piston related information at the moment, this is a perfect explanation of it all.

Any idea about noise and quietness, Excellent demo, Thank u.

Thank you. It helped me understand full-floating Piston Pins for my Aviation class.

This was very informative and explained well. My Jeep dealer found two loose/worn wrist pins on my 2001 Cherokee xj 4x4 at 188 k miles. I've drove it another thousand with no change in sound or performance. Bought it with 187 and the sound was present then. Saving up for a rebuild.

Thank you for the explanation. I recently experienced the problem of press fit piston pin that slided till scratching the cylinder. What are the probables causes of the sliding movement?

Great info vid, ,,I wonder if you can help me out ? If I keep my engine at a steady 2000 RPM and accelerate to like 2500 2700 RPM its like a hear a faint slight growl would that be the wrist pin ?, , , The engine is a 6.0 LQ9

can I put gen 4 LS floating pistons on my gen 3 press fit rods?

[intersterj]

What the difference in the from a pin that floats and one that's pressed? ...other than how they are assembled and work. Can the same pin be used as floater or pressed?

[bobbofly]

I would imagine clips are not generally used with press-fit rods, as the pin would wear/bind torsionally on the clips. Is this a correct assumption?

I got new pistons and going to reuse stock rods stock is pressed and the new pistons are floating ones they come with the wrist pin am I ok to use the new ones

[erkopihlak]

What do you think is a better solution?
Floating or heated?

I'm working on a '56 Pontiac with full floating pistons.I want to reuse my pistons but I noticed on one piston the wrist pin won't rotate on the rod and on another one it won't rotate in the piston.I tried soaking them with lube, letting them sit and then working them again but they won't budge.What do you suggest?

[RideWithTheWolf]

Can the pin be a little loose when cold, in my motorcycle?

[mondude]

I have an engine with a floating wrist pin setup however the con rod is severely scored and uneven so the wrist pin just binds in it, making the only pivot point in the piston. Do you think it’s okay to run like that?
