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.

How do you install Buick 3800 series 2 motor push rods and pistons?
To install the push rods and pistons in a Buick 3800 Series II motor, start by ensuring the engine is at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke for the cylinder you’re working on. Install the pistons into their respective cylinders, making sure to orient them correctly, then use a piston ring compressor to seat them properly. For the push rods, align them with the lifters and rocker arms, ensuring they are seated correctly before tightening the rocker arm bolts to the specified torque. Always refer to the vehicle’s service manual for precise specifications and procedures.
