Press fit.
The small end of the rod is heated, then the piston is set over it. Next the pin is pushed through.
Once the small end cools, it shrinks back onto the pin.

it sounds like you don't really know what to ask or understand wrist pins. the pins match the piston. from the factory gm uses pressed pins. you can use pressed or floating pins with factory rods. you need to bush the rod and add an oil feed hole for floating pins. the pins match the piston. rods can work with either.
