Default LS1 Piston Replacement- Need Help!
I have two LS1s, one with bad rods and good pistons, and the other with good rods and bad pistons. Can I put the good pistons on the good rods myself, or do I need to take them somewhere?

Also, what about heating the rod and freezing the pin? Is that not the preferred method?

never tried that, but I'm sure it would only help. the above method worked for me very well.
