Message	Short story: Cracked ring lands in cyl 6 on a newer rebuild (10k kms on it). Bought OEM piston+pin and will re-use stock rod. I cannot get the wrist pin started in the piston, it is way too tight. I tried heating the piston up like the fsm says, we have a hot tank that cleans parts that works at 150*. I used that but it doesn't go in at all. Also tried leaving the wrist pin in the freezer all day. No dice. My local machine shop says thats way too tight if it needs to be heated up, what gives?
