Have any of you run across problems with wrist pin lubrication while using synthetic oil. The past two times that we have torn the motor down we have had severe galling in the pistons. We just installed new rods and they have floating pins and this may or may not solve the problem. Previously we were running stock rods with pressed pins. Two of the pins were blue and all but seized in the pistons. Scared the hell out of me, for obvious reasons.------------------

Sounds like detonation to me.------------------

We run 110 in it so we never figured that detonation would be a problem. C.R. is only at around 11.5------------------

You can get detonation from too much timing.
I don't think that is the probelm though. Either wrong clearances, not enough lubrication, or a bad l/r will cause pin galling. It's definatly NOT the oil.  ------------------

TRW use to recommend drilling pin oiling holes from the oil ring to the pin on the old 351C pistons. Might consider this if you don't have any oiling holes for the pins.
