How to seperate rod and piston?

[nickrule99]

I picked up a block today, and have completely torn it apart to go to the Machine shop Monday.

How do I seperate the Rod from the Piston? Its all stock stuff from a 6 bolt.

Thanks in advance.

take them to your machine shop and have them press the pins out. Shawn

Never took a 4g63 apart but on the supra their are little "rings" that hold the center pin in and once you get those little rings out that pin will or should slide out. Then the rod can come free.

Well, thanks. But, not being a Supra , DSM rods are press-fit with something on the order of four tons. You let the machine shop take them apart.

So I can use a torque wrench for that, right?

no, a torque wrench is for appling a accurate amount of torque to a fastener.
To press something out or in you usually need a hydrolic press. Most people don't have on at home so they go to a shop and it done for them.

Yeah, I know.... sorry, I was just being a smart-ass.

Id love to see a 4,000 pound torque wrench though...

I wonder if they come in a clicker type.

With enough of a cheater, you bet. You may need to stand in an adjacent county....

Some fasteners in the Great Big World work on hollow studs which have a hydraulic fitting on them. You apply a bazillion pounds of hydralic pressure to them, and turn the nut -about the size of a DSM wheel- hand-tight. The pressure's then bled off, and the fastener becomes a bit snug.
Standing inside the crankcase of a B&W Diesel ship engine gives you whole new views of automotive engines, and what dinky little toys 454 Rat motors are.

Then there's the absolutely insane [repost]:

Kid, "Hey Mommy, can I go on the big piston ride?"
Mommy, " I don't think so, that's how accidents happen...how do you think you got here?"

Hrm...just woke up, sorry about that. Where in the world did that come from?....ugh, I hate Monday mornings.
