    Piston Pins - Stewarts/Hoffman?

    Anyone have a resource for quality piston pins. I seem to go through them pretty quickly. I saw a thread a long time ago about Hoffman's pins and/or Stewarts pins? Contact info? Thank you, Joe

    1.094 x 3.250

    I've been running a taper wall 229 gram pin. I'm freshening up my combination and rebalancing. I'd like to find a stronger "shelf" pin while I'm apart. Thank you, Joe

    Don't use taper wall run straight wall.

    I couldn't agree more. Remember, the pin is the only link keeping the rod and piston together. Don't be afraid of a heavy straight wall pin.

    Other options than AJPE?

    Thank you for the input on pins. Any other suppliers than AJPE? Last time I called there (for piston pins) customer service wasn't their finest quality....

    The ONLY way to go... these things are near indestructible! 18+ runs on fuel engine pins and they have not moved a tenth thousandth of an inch. They are expensive, but worth it.
