A piston rod connects the piston to the crankshaft in an engine, transmitting the force from the expanding gas to the crankshaft to generate motion. A connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft, converting the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion to drive the crankshaft. In summary, the piston rod is part of the piston assembly, while the connecting rod is part of the crankshaft assembly in an engine.
It is just about the hardest most difficult part of an engine to replace. The engine has to come out. The head has to be taken off. The rod of the piston has to be disconnected from the crankshaft. the top of the cylinder has to have a ridge reamer operated on it to get the piston out.

Yes, just be careful not to scratch the crank journals with the studs on the piston rod.
A bent engine piston is a reference to the piston rod. The piston cannot be bent, but the piston rod can be bent.
The piston includes the piston, rings, rod, rod bearing, and crankshaft bearing.

How much does a car cost?
They are usually sold by the set. but not much-it is the labor than will hurt. If you threw a rod, they may have to sleeve the bore or even replace the block. If you are replacing 1 piston, I would have all rebored & throw on new rings.

The connecting rod has a "wrist pin" which goes through the side of the piston and through the connecting rod. It is one of the most critical fit parts of an engine.The connecting rod or con rod connects the piston to the crank or crankshaft!!!
