Hey guys i just had a quick question...I recently started rebuilding my motor and while i had it apart i noticed one of the pistons was cracked...i bought a new one and was told i could use the old connecting rod...i have an arbor press and from what i have researched that's all i need to mate the two...now I'm hearing that i need to take it to a machine shop so they can heat something while they connect them...is this true or can i just do it myself with the arbor press?

Thanks guys
