B16 pistons + Probe I-beam Ls rods help
I'm finishing up my Ls/vtec Project and I need information about Putting B16 Pistons onto Probe I-beam high Compression LS rods. I have a set of p30 Jdm B16 pistons and I was wondering if i was able to press it on to a set of Probe I-beam Rods with out no modifications to the wrist pin or will it slide right in and snugged? I also have Stock LS rods, would it be able to slide right through with the stock one also? Help would be appreciated.

stock rods are press fit, stock pistons have a floating pin. If the probe rods are a floating design (like most aftermarket rods) then no it won't work. If they are press fit then you are good to go. If they are floating design and you still want to use them you need to have retaining clips machined into the pistons.
