Rod/piston help

SO without doing enough research I ordered rods from ws6store http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=6110
Planned on ordering Wiseco pistons and everything I see is .927 wrist pin size. The rods say .9281 wrist pin size. Did I screw up and need to return the rods or does anybody know of some forged piston for a 5.3 with the .9281 wrist pin?

It's fine. Everything is either for a .927" pin or the stock .945" pin.

Thank you sir! I wondered about that myself but then i thought maybe they were for a floating pin of some sort.

Well it probably is for a floating pin. Most of the aftermarket pistons will be for a floating pin as well and have a keeper groove machined in the pin boss.

Just for search purposes in the future......I got the rods today and it says .927 wrist pin size right on the box. No idea where ws6store got the .9281 from.
