Be aware it's possible to put a twist in the connecting rod while tightening the pinch bolt if the rod is held in a vise while the bolt is being tightened. Find a pin punch that's a close fit into the hole in the wrist pin, clamp it into a vise, and slide the pin over the punch to anchor the piston/rod assembly while the pinch bolt is torqued. Jerry
