Best Answer

A wrist pin is a small pin that goes through the side of the piston to hold it to the top of the crankshaft rod. It is called a wrist pin because it allows the piston to move up and down, like moving your wrist up and down.

How do you install piston rods onto pistons?

It depends on if the connecting rods use a full-floating or a semi-floating design. If it is a full-floating design, the piston should have spiral clips that snap into the side of the piston where the wrist pin slides trough to hold it in. Position the rod and piston, and slide the wrist pin through. Then install the clips. If your vehicle has the semi-floating design, the wrist pin is pressed into the connecting rod. This will require a shop press and the proper adapters to press the wrist pin into the connecting rod.
