    Removing Press Fit Wrist Pin

    Well, it wasn't completely destroyed, it just had 3-4 score marks on it. I trust they made sure the pin bore in the piston wasn't going to cause problems later. The new wrist pin moves beautifully, but I suppose I'll have to wait and see how it runs.

    Removing Press Fit Wrist Pin

    Not everybody has $10k to throw at a 29 year old street engine making 165HP, so please forgive me for trying to save a dollar this one time.

    Sooted Tailpipe

    A relative of mine has a '96 C2500 with a 350 and 104K miles.
