You mean installing or removing the piston pin? Are you using OEM parts or aftermarket parts? What engine?

I don't know for certain on OEM parts, but if you have a Helm's manual, that will tell you everything you need to know. You can order a hard copy from the Helm's website or you can download one from a number of other websites.

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?

Probably just different specs for different manufacturers. In my Toyota service manual, it says to heat but honda is just pressed in.
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
