Pin clearance for floated rods. Hello, I've done extensive timeless research and have not found a direct answer : I'm going to purchase the Sealed Power H1129CPA .030 over Hypereutectic Pistons for a 6.0 engine. I'm also planning to run the Eagle SIR I-Bean floated rods. The piston pin shows to be.943. There is two different Eagle rod part numbers SIR-6100NLW and SIR-6100MLW. The NLW show to have a .942 small end bore and the MLW show to have a .945 Bore. I gave up wasting my time on the Jegs and Summit websites since they both blow, no info as to what will work with either. Obviously one rod the hole is .001 smaller than the pin so that won't "float" and the other will have .002 clearance which I believe to be too much. Does anybody know which rod will work with these pistons? (Or others)? The pistons are factory replacements for a floated rod engine. I want to stay with 6.098- 6.100 rods. Thanks much.
