What do you see in the picture ?
Ok so I'm just curious to everyone opinion of what they see in the picture below just out of curiosity.
Ok so it's supposed to show and to me it does that the wrist pin is about 3/8 of an inch to short for the piston.
The wrist pin supplied was 2.172in while the distance between c-clip to c-clip in the piston is just a hair under 2.5in.
My machinist and engine builder ran into this upon final assembly. Never took notice during the balancing just wasn't looking for it really.
So I'm in the process of seeing what its going to take to get it taken care of.

Weird, I had maybe 1/8" from the clips to the pin when the pin was press up to the other clip. That wrist pins walls don't look strong at all and being that short isn't going to give it much support.
