Question How do you remove the Piston Pin??
I don't seem to have a snap ring to hold the piston pin in place. How do I pull the piston pin from the piston. I don't see anything holding it in place. Does mine need to be pressed out or something??

The Ford small block uses a press fit piston pin, so you need to press it out of the rod small end. It must be done carefully if you are saving the pistons. A machine shop is your best bet.

If you use a torch and heat the rod small end the pin will be easier to press out and wont damage anything just don't overheat the rod.

Do yourself a favor and take them to the machine shop! I think they charged me something like $15.

If you are a rookie and this is your first engine rebuild, don't torch the pins, you risk distorting your pistons!! Take it to a machine shop and let someone with the proper tools and experience handle it.
