You're right of course, I mis-typed that they heat the piston.  The rod is 
put into the little oven.
I've never tried to do it myself, but as I said, the ring gear went so 
smoothly that I could imagine trying it on a 1275 rod.  I've got several old 
pistons I could experiment with, but not a single extra rod.
