Ok, this always seems confusing to me.

I'm in the process of rebuilding a motor. I have FWDP recondition rods and stock .020 mahle pistons.

I was thinking of going with forqed pistons instead. Does this mean i need to have the rods resized for the wrist pin?

What set of forqed pistons comes with wrist pins that wouldn't require me to resize the rods?

Just call a vendor, and order a set of pistons with the proper size pin.

Really, no matter what you do, you are going to do some kind of machining. I would go with the following pistons in either size.

With the smaller wrist pin, you may just be able to hone out the bushing on the end of the rod. If you go with the larger wrist pin, just get redone bushings and push new ones in.
