I JUST RUINED MY PISTON!! I was trying to put the piston pin inside the first hole before installing the piston and I ruined it. There seemed to be no way that the pin could go inside that thing and could not go straight, no matter how I placed it it would lay on a side and start to fit in crooked. I was careful. I tried. But the piston is made of alluminum or some really soft metal and the pin deformed the area of the groove and it's just useless now. I'll have to buy a new piston.
How do you install the pin??? I put the piston on top of a piece of wood and then hammered the pin with a piece of wood in between the pin and the hammer.
