Post by: jonny500 on February 28, 2011, 04:03:55 AM

has anyone ever had a problem fitting the pin clips. it apears my gudeon pin it too long and will not allow the clip to seat properly in the groove. i have a shorted oem pin and a wiseco pin and none will fit properly. any help would be greatly recieved

for any one using the oem pin in the wiseco piston. the oem is about 0.5mm longer and i think its the chamfers that is the problem, the wiseco pin has bigger chamfers than the oem. i used a sanding disc on an angle grinder, crude but effective :evil:
