Gen 4 5.3 parts help

Bought a set of gen 4 rods and pistons for a great deal but the pistons were missing the c clips for the wrist pin and the rods were missing the little sleeve that goes in the bolt hole of the rod cap. Does anyone know where I can order either of these? Thanks for the help

Call WS6store, a sponsor/vendor here. They will either have them or know where to get them.

yes sir. I also just bought some arp 2000 rod bolts. I’ve heard that the aftermarket bolts fills the gap to where those inserts weren’t necessary. Does anyone know if that’s true?

Thats true. When you install ARP rod bolts, you have to remove the insert.
