Installing wrist pin retainers
Is there a secret? I've having lots of troble getting the retainers into these ross pistons. It is much harder with the pin intersecting the oil ring like that.

There are some easy ways to get them installed but its probably impossible to explain in a forum post.
First lock:
Wrist pin hole facing the floor. Squeeze the lock with ends facing up and push it into the hole. Center of lock should be past the retaining groove. Rotate the lock till you get the ends started in the groove. Push pin in from opposite end to seat the other side.
Second lock:
Squeeze lock while pushing bottom of circlip into groove against the pin. Try to get ends to stick in pin hole. Use screw driver to push ends into place.
Best I can do over the forum. Hope it helps.

Just for reference, i had the wrong wrist pin retainers in with my pistons. Called Ross and they were SUPER cool about it. Sent me the correct retainers. I had them in in about 30 minutes.
