There are 2 kinds of piston/pin sets.
Press fit:
The small end of the connecting rod where the pin goes through has a smaller diameter hole than the pin. This causes an interference fit and locks it in place.
Free floating fit:
The small end of the rod has a bronze or brass bushing in it, and the hole has a larger diameter than the pin. Spiral locks are used in the pistons at the pin ends to hold in place.
Your buddy Bill had aftermarket pistons and rods, most GM stock engines come with press fit pins/pistons.I modify stuff

i highly doubt they were aftermarket since thats the first time the engine was ever cracked open after he overreved it and threw a rod. well proper way or not thats how i did it not like he is reuseing the pistons anyhow.-Chris
