- Wed Jun 15, 2011 10:15 am #259539 There is written that for pin instalation I have to use hydraulic press and no heat. That why in many video's connecting rod is haeted? I understand that hot connecting rods hole is wider and its earier to push the pin through. What is the difference betwene these two methods?

When the honda engineers say to do it a certain way, I just do it their way because they're probably some of the smartest people in the world
