press work fine .realy no need to float your old rods . for street and mild race . i like press pin the rod is stronger and you do to have to worry about beating out the pin bushing or pin locks .part of hanging the piston s on your press in pin rods is to check the press on the pin 001.2 to 001.5 is what you need for press .and the big end gets resized if thats what you want i re build rods all the time .its up to you if you want your old rods re built its $10.00 a rod for the big end $5.00 a rod for check and tune in the pin end . i get $10.00 to bush the pin end a rod if you want so it addeds up fast then there rod bushing and rod bolts . this is my price hard to say whats your shops around you get or if they can do a good job . takes time to do rigth not many want to play with them .when you can buy new for under 300. you first re size the big end of the rod is this makes the rod shorter not by much .003 or so if you have a machine that will bore the small end you can move the pin center back were it needs to be as the bushing bore is bigger then the pin then you bore the bushing on the pin boring machine for the floating pin .the pin boring machine when set up will make all rods the same length
