I am replacing Pistons on my 1999 Bigdog Bulldog it has a 107 ci as I was dry fitting everything I noticed that the new piston wrist pins are bigger than my old ones and won't fit my connecting rods and when I check to them for fitment to new Pistons there's a lot of play so my question is this can it either be sleeved on piston or can the connecting rod be machined to allow new wrist pins to be used

Is it a TP 107 or S&S 107? I am sure John Sachs or Mr. Wright would know the answer to your question. Try sending them a PM for a faster reply.

John Sachs is the man you need to talk to. S&S is his specialty.

The wording of your question is a little unclear but my guess is that you purchased the wrong piston. Contact the person you got it from and verify it's correct.

Can't thin out the small end of the rod, so that kind of sleeve being pressed in is a questionable act with more weight of the piston and pin? Say goodbye to my ol frien... rat-tat-tat are all the valves, head, dome turned to junk... go stretch.

Plan 2 is step the wrist pin back to the OE size. Wrong piston set.

Call S&S with the engine #. It should be on the top, right side, near the front of the engine case. They should be able to tell you what it is. Other than that, you'll need to measure the bore of the small end of the rod, the bore of the cylinder, and the length of the cylinder from head gasket surface to base gasket surface. Give S&S that measurement also.
