Ummmm..... well.... the Pistons for the C20LET and C20XE use a floating pin design where as your U20SED piston pins are most likely press fit.
I don't know this for 100% sure, but the T22SED and T20SED were press fit so I figure the U20SED will be the same.
So.... at this point your probably thinking "what is this guy trying to tell me? "
The answer is that you need compatible C20LET or C20XE connecting rods.
Now again.... I'm not 100% sure of this, but I'm pretty sure the press type connecting rods won't work.
So your choices are:
1) get some C20LET or C20XE connecting rods from the UK or Europe
2) Purchase the Toga H-Beam connecting rods from IPP at the same time.
I can't remember.... but I belive there is an option to buy a Toga/Wiesco rod/piston kit.... which I would assume comes with pins as well... but don't quote me on that.
Hopefully someone else can confirm the requirement of C20LET C20XE rods for these Wiesco pistons.
Sorry for the potentially bad news.... it's nothing a wad of cash can't fix.
