Used them in most of my race and hot street engines. At least you know you'll never lose a wrist-pin clip...

Thanks Keith,

I'm worrying about the fit in mij 90,5 pistons.... it seems not such a tight fit...(or is this the usual deal?)

They don't really need to be a tight fit  they just keep the wrist pin from being able to contact the cylinder, and that's all.  Smiley

I like using them ... pins come right out of the pistons on tear down since the clip groove isn't getting beat up. Wink
