Question JE spiro locks & stock rods

I just received JE pistons for stock rods and in the box seems to be spiro locks as well. Am I supposed to put these in ? The pins are supposed to be pressed to the rods like the stockers anyway ?

You will not use the locks. No big deal.

OK, but is there a reason for them to be there, like sometimes aftermarket pins start to move in the rods..

They are in there because they don't know if you are using a pressed pin or a floating pin. So they get put in either way. You could change to a floating pin later if you wanted so save them. A pressed pin will not move. No need at all for them. Rest easy.
