A full floating rod means that the piston pin isn't pressed into the small end of the piston, it slides through freely and rides on a bushing instead. The older GenIII engines have the piston pin pressed into the rod and the piston acts as the bearing for the small end of the rod. The full floating piston pin requires snap rings or wire ring groove cut in the piston pin bores to retain the rod pin. If there are machining problems when cutting the groove, pins have been known to walk out the bore and gouge the cylinder wall. That is a very rare thing to happen, though.

Isn't that the same thing as floating wrist pin?
