Oversize gudgeon pins

[Zetomagneto]

The rods were fitted with bushes to suit the 13mm floating pins of the Honda pistons.

We simply removed these bushes and made up new ones to suit the 1/2” standard sized floating pins.

There was no need to replace the Pheonix rods as the o/d of the bushes was identical and the little end unchanged from the way they were produced.

Sorry Rory, thought you were talking about Nippy rods just goes to show, one needs all the info before making a comment.Just fine to rebush where there were bushes originally.
I would be interested in the Honda pins if unworn.

I do like the way a simple question gets all sorts of subsequent information out into the open.



As one who is good at making things go, but not an engineer:

Why a left hand reamer instead of a normal one?  


I don't suppose it is the same as running a normal one in reverse because you don't want an aggressive cut, more of a scrape.

LH fluted reamer pushes the swarf ahead, rather than pulling it back over what you have just reamed.
Never turn a reamer backwards/ anti-clockwise
