To tight gets tighter on cold day and is hard on piston and cylinder walls. Should float.. every cold start and tight can get tighter by galling the piston pin bore. Good fix press pins are not so easy to work on.
I put new pistons on my 77 ford 300 inline six. 5 were perfect but 1 was a little off so i tried to press it only a 1/8 of a inch like that and my pin hole somehow got bent and my rod would not move without forcing it. So i got another piston. Good video , you doin a great job.
as always thanks for taking the time to make the video
My pleasure!

Again awsome information. I actually ended up keeping the 63 F 100 I've been working on. might want to put a big block in it
I like that generation of Ford trucks. I have a 66 long bed, I want to get on the road. Thanks for watching.
I need that polishing bit you have. I can't find it
Summit racing.
If they ran without galling, they were perfect ,,, !
Thanks for watching.
Looking great....
Thank you 😊
Tight gudgeon causing one of my engines to have piston noise when cold.
Might try your trick.
Thanks for watching'
