How is the pin inserted into a piston?

Position the piston and the connecting rod according to the installation direction. The oiled pin is carefully inserted into the pin bores of the piston and into the connecting rod eye of the connecting rod. For pistons with tightly toleranced pin bore, insertion of the pin is easier if the piston is heated to approx. 40 °C.
