LQ9 free float rods I picked up a set of LQ9 floating rods and pistons, I want to put new pistons on them... where can I get replacement sleeves on the pistons? First rebuild, not sure what they are called.
Thanks!

you probably mean the bushings for the small end of the rod?
your local machine shop should be able to help you
ask for them to "pin fit" them to the piston pins but measure the pin bore first
many of the after market pistons have the old SB chevy pins in them.
smaller pins I think they are .928 for the SB chevy (old school) vs .945 or something like that for the LS engine.
good luck!
