Bushed rods with pressed pin pistons?

Can this work, or do I need to order different rods?
thanks

Nope, won't work. Nothing to hold the pins in place. They will end up gouging the cyl walls.

You can use floater pistons on "press-fit" rods; but not the other way around.

You need either different pistons, or different rods.
