Take some pictures, if they are Clawson Bals, old stock, they should be Tin base, and a broached rod.

If they are after market Clawson and Bals, they may be lead.

Wrist pins are fit from 3 to 5 tenths of a thousandths.

If your rods are 1.484, what is your shaft size, as the measurement would be a half size bearing!!!!!!!

wrist pin bores are reamed with a special powered/lubed reamer machine.

If you hold the piston in your hand with the rod sticking straight out to the side, the rod should very gradually fall down. If the rod drops quickly, you have too much clearance.
