Since I need custom rods, what is the difference in pressed or bushed? The novice coming out again. Which is better for street/strip use
Thanx again

contacted BME... This being a stock crank are these the right numbers? 2.375" housing bore. .980 pin bore.

A pressed setup has the piston pin pressed in the rod and floating on the piston. Works good, but hard to disassemble. A floating setup has a bushing in the rod (or the rod material is the bushing) that the piston pin slides in. Much easier to disassemble, and in theory is more reliable because if the piston seizes on the pin, the rod can still pivot relative to the piston. Need more info (decimal places) to answer your size question. Typical piston to pin clearance can range from .0002 to .0008 inches in a floating setup.

If there is little difference in price always go with the floater.

Your stock sizes are right.
