I have 4 pistons that I needed to get the pins pressed into to connect the piston to the connecting rod. Is there any place local that can do it for a good price? I live off of 100th and wadsworth btw. What am I looking to spend to get that done? Thanks!

Pins are the easiest thing to do. We made centering machines outta old parts. All you have to do is heat up the rod, slide the pin thru and bam... yer done! $25 is a good deal.

I'll vouch for Gunn, they did some of my machining and do great work as well.
