I recently acquired some u/s parts from a P & W R-985.

The piston pin seems very heavy compared to the relatively light weight link rod.

I would appreciate any thoughts on why the piston pin is like this. The piston pin bosses are close together so pin bending/flexing should be minimal.

Thank you.
