Is the wist pin supposed to be free to rotate in the small end of the rod...or does it rotate only in the piston itself?......which goes against the functioning of any internal combustion engine I've worked on in 45 yrs.!.....do I have a stuck wrist pin?   Feels weird at the top of its stroke and has a lot of slop between TDC and starting its downstroke. Been totally disassembled and rod itself has no slop.

The wrist pin should be free in the rod end, sometimes tight in the piston. Never the reverse.

Take it apart.

Should be pretty easy if you have been working on engines 45yrs Wink

Usually the rod is just castor stuck to the piston pin, some folks just pull the backplate off and spray the rod/pin with brake cleaner and work the rod back and forth with an allen key.

I personally prefer to take it apart and clean everything. Even at that you may still have to free the rod from the piston pin before you can slip It off the crank pin.

When taking it apart, or trying to free it up, heat will be your friend if castor stuck, and which most likely it is.

Ya....it was BAD castor stuck! Had to remove front of crankcase and crank and push piston out the top. Could move wrist pin out of piston far enough to get ahold of ,and between carb and choke cleaner,blaster,and a cranked up bic lighter on the small end of the rod I finally got it moving. Took several heating attempts to finaly get rod off wrist pin! Cleaned up,lubed up and back together. Was a bit of a trick getting piston back down bore. Tight tapered fit apparantly! Now I wonder if my other 2 have the same issue?

I'm assuming this engine has a baffled piston, so just be sure to install the piston the corect way around. (You probably already know that!!)

Actually, many automotive wrist pins are a press fit in the rod and run free in the piston.  You see them both ways, but I'm not sure of the advantages. In my experience with Enya, the pins have always been fully floating.

Yes ,i know older cast iron block car engines were mostly press fit rods. But not the smaller 4 and 6 cylinder newer stuff. All of my previous model engine experience is Cox products.
